Jeremy Kyle my arse....

People are never happy, eh?!
I love Jerry K, my hero, my misses and I used to spend the morning of our day off watching Jeremy Kyle, this stoped when our schedules changed, now we can watch it anytime we are together.
Brilliant, we can remember our relationship isn't as bad as all that.

Approximately 4hrs15 of the "500" of stuff has appeared in TV Choice. Some kind of Al Murray thing and 4 episodes of something called Cracker.

Just watched Law and Order UK from Monday. Apart from the brief moments when the title comes up but no ads, very handy indeed.

I'm guess i'm kinda hoping that the utter dregs of society you find appearing on Jeremy Kyle don't actually exist.

Alsom the Jeremy Kyle show is all about Jeremy Kyle and not trying to help to poor *******s who appear on it...

Faux Happy, Faux sad, Faux Angrey Jeremy Kyle makes me want to vomit!

Why is it called ITV "NET" player?
even though the ITV player on the net is just called ITV PLAYER and this is on the cable platform?
Also howcome there are ads on the internet version but not on the cable version?

thanks

One reason there aren't ads maybe due to VM paying ITV, where as, on the internet, they make no revenue at all, other than from adverts.

Also, Cracker was a brilliant series, I haven't checked the TV choice section lately, glad they have put that on.

demented · 26-02-2009, 19:16

Having had a look again the tv choice section seems to be growing by the hours with a "comedy" section and "entertainment" section. There are 5 things listed now.

Do you mean that you want to see the ads on VM? I know I don't!

I don't think there will be any HD content on the Catch up service - it's more likely to be in the TV Choice section. Should find out for sure soon enough.

demented · 26-02-2009, 19:25

It should be interesting what appears in tv choice which is growing by the hour (or even more on demand which is where the BBC put their HD stuff) as ITV and virgin signed an agreement for 500hrs. I would be seriously impressed if they did reach that.

KnightRider · 26-02-2009, 19:36

is that 500 hours of the same content for a year or swap and change content monthly like 4od

demented · 26-02-2009, 20:03

I suspect it probably means 500 hours to pool stuff from so not 500hrs on there at a time but we'll see. Virgin tend to exaggerate numbers with VOD or spin things in a very positive light e.g. star trek on demand. Still, any new content that doesn't pinch space off something else is good. I think the 40hrs of catch up (that does seem to be about on the money) will be very popular.

Just watched my first programme on ITV Net Player, The Colour of Money, and found the picture quality great. I also like the fact that there isn't a lengthy ident at the beginning like the BBC iPlayer programmes.

I think I will be using the ITV Net Player a lot
