r/ITVX

So I don't have the luxury of watching always in the main room via the Satellite. I'm sure those watching via ITV1 via Sky Q or Virgin media are fine and having good quality stream, but watching on larger TVs, notably Oled, through Freely or ITVX app, it's just really poor.

I think itv1 via cable or satellite is fine but as I say, we can't always watch in the main room

Currently standing Brazil Norway. Any fixes for this? Shall I get a broadband extender will that help, and plug the streamer into the extender ? Via ethernet

No problem, I thought, I can catch up on itvx. So it's nearly half time when I finally get the telly on, but not to worry there is a watch from start button, brilliant! Ok so coverage started 40 mins before kick off, let me just forward to kick off. Hmm wheres the forward button, what do I press on the remote, hmm nothings working, quick Google CANT FAST FORWARD. So I have to sit through 40 mins preamble, the match will be over by the time I get to kick off!

Now here's the real kicker, I'm about 15mins in and the scroll bar and menu across the bottom won't fade out no matter what I press, so I try the back up button - it takes me back to home menu and I have to restart the whole programme again! Now iPlayer and Amazon can do fast forward/rewind on live programmes so this is a choice. I don't mind watching 3/4 ads just let me skip through the actual show!

Here's what seems like an odd one but maybe has a simple answer.

England vs Dr Congo was on BBC. However the ITV youtube channel has highlights with commentary. I have several questions:

Did ITV commentate the whole game even though no one was watching?

Did ITV just commentate the highlights for the youtube highlights?

Was this commentary live, or done in post?

Was the commentator live at the stadium like the bbc were?

My location is entered when I login to the app on my tv. The location is logged through my account, and also within the itvx settings directly on the tv app. But the LIVETV option never appears. It works on my phone with the same account, but not on the tv.

I can chromecast it from my phone but then it appears low frame rate. any ideas?

In what world do ITV think highlights should not include all the penalties?

Moronic! If a goal or missed penalty isn’t a highlight what is?

The ITVX app could do with a UHD option which I hope they bring eventually.

I Like the lineup they've brought out to America as well.

Also as Mods I am now pleased to be on the team bringing this community back active again,

If you have any questions about ITVX, any issues or require support, any news or shows you're watching please let us know.

We are Unaffiliated with ITV.

I can get the website to work but when I attempt to watch something on the iOS app, I get the following error: “Couldn’t activate main profile”

Judging by the spike of requests these last few weeks, people have begun to notice that this subreddit had become locked down. This wasn’t a decision made by me but it was indirectly caused by my genuine attempt not to be overbearing.

Basically, r/ITVX is a tiny community in the grand scheme of things. I used to post regularly in order to promote discussion and activity. Then a couple of people started accusing me of treating the place like a karma farm, so I stepped back. Unfortunately, because I’ve also had a relaxed, unobtrusive modding style, Reddit interpreted this as inactivity on my part and locked everything down. This happened a couple of times and I got it reopened. When it happened a third time, I thought it best to just let it go.

Of course, then the World Cup happened, with ITV airing many of the games. People came here and were met with a brick wall. That was on me. No excuses, just honest apathy towards keeping the place alive when I thought no-one else cared to post.

It’s back now. u/SlowedCash has requested to become a moderator here and is very enthusiastic. I sent him an invite. I hope he’ll accept. I probably won’t disappear entirely again but it’s only right to add someone to the team with a bit of passion for doing things properly.

Sorry once again for inadvertently stifling discussion. I’ll do my best to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
