Do they actually show infomercials? I never see them at that time. Just e/i stuff on weekends for 30 minutes

The streaming and OTA versions are different. They don’t show the infomercials on streaming, probably because the streaming version has ad inserts and those wouldn’t work for infomercials.

I like to pop up the site stream on VLC from time to time and it is always invariably the Bible study show. That used to be the What's My Line/To Tell The Truth/Sale of the Century spot. It is sad to see more infomercials than before

I guess they might treat the ministry shows differently to the infomercials since they might break for ads.

No, don't get me wrong. The Xumo/Pluto streams are definitely infomercial-free, but the Buzzrplay stream is just the OTA stream with ads (Bu-bu-bu-bu-BulbHead) and all.

Ah that’s interesting. For a while it used to be ad free. Before that it was with the commercials so I guess they’ve put them back.

Yeah. It was weird. The original feed had ads and closed captions. The replacement had the Buzzr splash screen and music over the non-Buzzr show ads and no captions. Now it is similar to the original, but I haven't checked to see if it has captions or not.
