ITV Catchup
 

Catchup tv is using the itv netplayer feed atm, which is awful quality as its designed for a low bandwidth internet feed. I hope this is temporary. Anyone know?

Hi John

All VoD is from our servers, not the internet. Is it a particular programme? I've just tested a few assets here and they seem fine.

Its all the itv catchup programmes I have tried, just before they start the itv netplayer logo comes up and the picture is worse than sd tv. try wednesdays jeremy kyle:monkey:

'try wednesdays jeremy kyle'

You've just inadvertently made me realise that subscribing to VM means I am essentially hording a back-catalog of Jeremy Kyle programmes.

Re: ITV Catchup
 

Seems ok here.... We've still got problems on your local headend though, so maybe related to that?

Re: ITV Catchup
 

You dont get the itv netplayer screen before the program starts?

Re: ITV Catchup
 

Yeah, ITV Net Player logo, then the programme starts. :)

Re: ITV Catchup
 

It didnt used to be that feed, cant you see the pixellation? It used to look exactly like the sd itv program broadcast.

ITV Net Player is the name of ITV's VoD service. It's always been called that, it's definately not another feed. I promise you :)

I think as I said before it might be related to issues on your local headend. I take it your VoD is working again?

I'm in the office at the moment, so I'll check my home box when I get in later.

Have you noticed any problems with ITV assets before today?

Re: ITV Catchup
 

I'm getting old if it always started with itv netplayer screen, which is more than possible:). On demand is hit or miss atm sometimes its fine sometimes I get the oss error on the V+. Tivo however seems to be connecting to catchup all the time now, I only have a problem with the video quality of the itv catchup. All other channels in catchup are as they have always been i.e. SD quality. And before today itv programs were of SD quality.

Ok you're watching Jeremy Kyle and thinking my tv is broke they can't be that ugly in real life.

Well your feed is fine.............THEY REALLY DO LOOK LIKE THAT.
