Channel 5 starts reasonably, with perhaps 3–5 adverts, but as the programme progresses the breaks become much longer sometimes reaching 11+ ads That's what I find excessive. There's a point where the amount of ads starts ruining the programme. you get to the point where you think, I just can't be bothered sitting through another 10 or 11 ads and simply cancel the programme you are trying to enjoy. Sometimes it feels like the adverts have priority over the actual programme itself. 🙄😒😒😬

Hi A Rob, thanks for your feedback. We understand that long ad breaks can be frustrating and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Advertising helps keep 5 free to watch, but we'll make sure your comments are passed on to the team for review. Thanks for watching.

Failed to register. It didn't recognise my email address format, that's despite using quite well everywhere else. It didn't recognise my postcode. It said that my name should only contain letters, which it did. I guess I'll not be able to comment further on My5 if it won't even let me register. All in all a waste of time. Very poor experience.

Poor isn't the word, in fact it's awful. I set up an account which it saved in my password manager and then says the details are incorrect. Reset the password and low and behold the details are incorrect. So I literally can't access it. Shame, but going off the reviews it doesn't seem like I'm missing much. Though due to not even being able to log in, it's nought stars for me. Uninstalled.
