The ITV Player paywall isn't going down well on Twitter... And I can't say I blame them.

Utterly pathetic decision.

ITV Player was bad enough anyway. Navigation was horrendous, and this is the wrong decision. Sky+ it is!

Wont people just be able to use the STV Player instead? lol

ITV Player is pretty dreadful, and I certainly wouldn't pay for it.

BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5 all make their on-demand services free so definitely wouldn't pay for ITV Player.

@ITVpresscentre "To clarify. Catch up on ITV Player will remain free. @ITV will be introducing a pay mechanism next year to trial other pay content."

New X Factor site launched. Slightly different to the last couple of years

What you think?? Is it just me or is ther some slightly dodgy editing atm?

The video player on the X Factor site is really nice. Much like the new YouTube "Cosmic Panda" design.


Hope it makes ITV Player.

STV has launched their own X Factor website, thought I would add it here:

Not much difference...

Wonder if ITV will charge people to watch programmes in HD.

I'd probably pay, for Corrie at least... Embarassed
