ITV Player is f***ing sh**

Sorry but I am going to have to have a rant about this.

I have used BBC iplayer many times and don't have a problem with it. ITV player is an absolute joke.

Basically when it gets to the adverts you cannot skip them. Yes you can get yourself a beer in the meantime but its still annoying. Worst of all, it gets to advert 6 of 6 and declares there is a techincal fault and you must refresh the page. When you do, it delivers all 6 adverts again. Also, whenever you press refresh, it declares verbally 'you are watching ITV 1 brought to you by ITV player' or some sh Censored like that. Like I hadn't noticed.

Anyone else had the misfortune to use this crap? LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

The BBC does make superior programmes I must say. Aside from my clear bias towards Doctor Who and Torchwood, Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes were great and recently The Shadowline was superb. Comedy classics like Only Fools and Horses is another BBC ace.

Page eight with Bill Nighy was also excellent the other night. But yes ITV player is crap and valid point made by simont. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Maybe The Doctor needs to see a doctor, instead of wasting his time watching TV so that he can rant over it afterwards - If he cares to use the small button on the TV marked "off" or even pull the plug out of the socket more often, maybe he will get a life and stop blowing his fuse and wasting our time with his often worthless rants Laughing 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

You still cannot avoid the ads, but I watch Channel 4 on demand and as somebody who doesn't have a TV in the house I think it is pretty good however it does have glitches and will suddenly stop. to get the same program back you have to go to another website, come back to C4OD and then after another load of ads the program will resume where you stopped. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
