Why don't the prats who build these sites realise that the reason that YouTube et al are successful is that they are UNIVERSALLY available on all platforms and browsers and they don't put unnecessary barriers between users and content.

How much has ITV spent on this? I could have told them that for nothing.

Nor support for non-IE users. That's stupid as whilst IE is the main browser others such as Firefox and Opera are becoming increasingly popular and not supporting them is just poor coding as far as I'm concerned.

I need Internet Explorer for it, why, I have IE7 but I dont use it I want to be able to watch it using Firefox. Evil or Very Mad

Awful, I dread to think what the homepage will look like.

So no Firefox support, messier layout then previous (which I didn't think was possible) and horrid design.

Well it does say "You are previewing ITV.com" and they want to know what we think. Also the web address is preview.itv.com/soups

Only one flipping ad as well, I'm getting fed up of Friends Reunited!

Good soaps past content though from the archives.

Is this it? No live streaming of ITV1, ITV2 and ITV3?

And what about The Bill? Doesn't that come under soaps? I thought the new itv.com would be every single show that ITV shows on TV?

There is live streaming, go to that soaps page and click on watch now and there are the 4 logos, you will be able to watch them, well only ITV1 worked

This is only a preview, as has been said. I really don't like the big space between the itv.com logo and the actual nav bar. It's too empty.
