ITV Player

I have got ITV Player on the Now TV box, but it doesn't appear to have as much content as I would expect.  I was wondering if I was missing something obvious?

 

I would expect at least 7-day catch-up so I could watch, for example, more than one episode of Coronation Street.  (The description in the Channel Store says "ITV Player offers 30 days free catch up of all the shows you know and love.") 

 

But when I go to the main ITV channel in 'Guide' it just shows today and yesterday.  If I go to 'C' in the A-Z it just shows one episode of Coronation Street.  Are further episodes available via some method I'm not seeing?

 

I know this is an ITV problem rather than a Now TV one, but I was wondering if any users could help me?  Thanks.

Hi,

 

There is a way to get more episodes of corrie. It is a bit long winded but it does work.

 

If you play the latest episode and then press the pause button you will see a box that says something like more episodes. Click on that box and you can get all the older ones.

 

Hope that helps.

It's there ... Try scrolling down to the A-Z section, and you'll find it listed first under the P section.

 

Youll only see the latest episode listed, if you want to watch the previous week's episodes you have to start the latest episode first, wait for the ads to finish and the programme to start, then you can press pause on the remote, and you'll see an option to view all episodes (daft, I know, but that's how the app's been designed by ITV).

It's not listed.

In that case you've got your location set as Scotland, which means you won't get access to ITV1 content. 

 

Open the ITV Player app, then press the * button on your remote to get to the settings. Go to Location and enter an English postcode (any postcode you get from doing a Google search should be fine) then click the Change postcode option. Press the back arrow until you get back to the homepage and try looking under P again. You may need to quit the app and open it again to get the full selection.

That could be the problem, I'm in Scotland, I don't even see an ITV1 channel.

 

I'll try another postcode later.

That worked, thanks.

 

Episode 2 seems to be missing but it's not on the ITV player website either.

Glad it works for you.

I thought I was going mad, I have a similar problem with 'For the Love of Cars' on the All4 app.


That seems to be a different problem, but the similariity in titles was a bit spooky.

Are you looking at Paul O'Grady's Animal Orphans?

On my (black) Now TV box, it's the first listing under P.

 

The first listing should be 'Paul O'Grady - For t...' with the second listing as 'Paul O'Grady's Ani...'
