Nothing on our boxes.

That is odd. Try a network connection and reboot. Maybe it is slow to roll out

Please could someone clarify what's changed?

Have the actual apps for ITV Hub, All4 and My5 been added to the Apps & Games section or have they just added links to VM's limited selection of Catch Up content from the networks?

I'm rather curious myself.

I had to reboot for other reasons earlier today and I've still not got it, but being in a STV ITV region maybe I'm only meant to get the STV Player.

Currently it's an additional app to the ITV Catch Up section.

But I'd think that's in part due to the fact that ITV Catch Up is shared between the TiVo / V6 boxes and the V HD box (except in STV areas)

That sounds more like a shortcut icon (like in Windows on PCs) rather than an app. :p:

Thanks BenMcr

STV player is the actual app because it plays their adds though out the program your watching. Plus it uses their own Gui

And the ITV app is the same overall design I believe.

I quite like the STV app...except for the unfastforwardable ads...and the ad stacking if you want to get to a point further in to the particular show.

Thanks Ben.

Is it just the ITV Hub at the moment, no sign of All4 and My5? Are there plans to add these too?

Just ITV. No idea what is going to happen for the other catch up services.

With Virgin moving so many channels to MPEG4, on top of the already existing free bandwidth available, I decided to have a look where the free space is being cleared and it’s almost everything up to 427 Mhz. This is either side of the existing broadband block.
