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?
Regards
John

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.

Re: ITV Catchup
'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.

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?

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.
Regards
John.
