Re: ITV Net Player Missing Programmes

Brisy, not sure if you understood me (or if I'm misunderstanding you, come to that!) .... I know that ITV call their internet catch-up TV service ITV Player, etc BUT Virgin's version is called ITV Net Player on my Tivo - and it is NOT the same as the ITV player (neither is 4 OD). Virgin Media's version is simply one week's catch-up tv and is no different from what can be viewed from the TV guide. The internet version is the "real" ITV Player. However, the BBC I-Player on Virgin is pretty much the same as the internet version (subject to maybe small variables down to broadcasting laws). I double checked this with Virgin today and they confirmed this to be the case. That's why I'm not impressed - I bought VM Tivo box largely because of the ITV Player, etc, which is not available on Sky+ and now it transpires is not available as the proper version on VM either. Oh - and I didn't realise that Freeview is a separate company and so not all the freeview channels are available either
