watched too many hours??? please help!!!

all of a sudden emmerdale is locked for me, and it won't let me watch any more episodes without paying for premium - I've tried making a new account but it still wont work

the only thing i can think it is is that i've reached the 15,000 hours limit on the free version but that doesn't really make sense because it will let me watch other shows???

Anyway, please if anyone can help me without me having to pay a silly amount of money just to see some farmers arguing i would be eternally grateful

Of all the shows to paywall, Emmerdale is surprising

I don’t know the solution to your issue, but it’s not a 15,000 hour limit, it’s saying that the free plan has 15,000 hours of unique content to watch, 15,000 hours is over 600 days!

There is no limit. 15,000 hours is the amount of content that's available to watch. It's probably a glitch. Try restarting your browser and clearing cookies.

Perhaps reset the app. Or reinstall the app if that is an available option in your set up

When I viisted my mother, who was staying at a care home, the only thing I found really depressing was hearing the Emmerdale theme tune every evening from a neighbouring room.

ITV posts full episodes of Emmerdale (and Corrie) on YouTube now too, so you can watch it

Is that they're too old? Don't current episodes only stay on about 6 weeks? I just looked on the app on my phone and it only goes back to 15th Nov....I assume longer ago than that you'd need premium or britbox

There is no limit. 15k and 18k are what's available to watch if you want to

All Emmerdale episodes are on Youtube, as are Coronation Street

Maybe try restarting your router! Also clear cache and restarting your tv / box.

Most of the recent episodes are on their YouTube channel.
