That's right. As I recall it, the catch up services with their 7 day window for playback were in place before the more comprehensive services available through the internet, on Smart TVs, Roku, etc, so no false advertising there. I think it is good that Virgin offer a 'no ads during programmes' option.

I've always viewed the ITV Collections as being our substitute for ITV Encore!

I guess it's up to Channel 5 what content they put on, but there's not much I ever watch on that channel anyway.
