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.

Well LE

 

You do know that ITV designed, made and maintains the ITV Hub, not Now TV.  

 

For myself, I don't like the primitively unfriendly menu system they've incorporated into the hub, I guess ITV was trying be unique, i.e. different from All4, Demand 5 and iPlayer, but all they've done with hub is make it look ridiculous.

The ITV Hub is much more easier to navigate on other devices.   Finally it's on Chromecast (except live channels) and is more user friendly on an Amazon Fire TV or Fire Stick.

I do not work for Now . I am simply a Now customer trying to help I am a Community Contributor This means that I know a lot about the service. But just like you I am still a customer. This means I cannot help you with issues that would involve looking into your account directly. A member of the now TV forum team or live chat will need to assist you with these issues.

Thank you so much. I just assumed the content wasn't there and it was really annoying me

Just-so-everyone-knows...

 

NOW TV have no control over 'third party' service provider apps, such as BBC iPlayer, ITVhub, All5, Demand5, etc. The GUI layouts and content delivery systems for each distribution platform is entirely controlled by the service provider.

 

That being said, it is vital that your 'apps' are fully up-to date Smiley Wink

I have noticed that Broadchurch Season 3 has now been aired however no catch up has appeared on Now TV for episode 1? Secondly on my Ps4, when you select season 2 of Broadchurch, you are still presented with Season 1 first, a clunk mess in my opinion!?

Hi @Anonymous User,

 

Broadchurch is a ITV production, which means that all the 'catch-up' episodes for any new ITV run series will appear on their ITV Hub 'catch-up' service app first - which it currently is.

Hi @Anonymous User,

 

Just-so-you-know... NOW TV have no control over 'third-party' apps, such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, Demand 5, RedBull TV etc.
