The new ITV.com logo is now on the homepage. Does this mean they are not going to change the homepage design?


No. I think it's more because the flash box uses the new logo, and they probably want to include it on the homepage.

Seems ITV have edited the ITV.com logo and made it smaller, [the one that goes onto the old pages]. The ITV Play website is vile, I thought the design would be based around the one where they had info on the new site relaunching.. oh well.

Soaps looks good, can't wait to see the News section be added. Shame I can only watch adverts but not programmes in the video player.

On the video clips I'm getting the following error;

Sorry, your computer and/or media player is not able to play our videos.

Please see our help pages for a list of possible reasons why this is.

Alternatively click the button below to test your settings.

Odd, considering I'm using IE7, with the latest Windows Media Player.

On the live streaming pages I'm getting the other error as mentioned in the previous posts above.

What is it exactly about the new Media Player that won't make it work on Macs?

Macs have Windows Media 9, Macs have Java, Macs have Flash. What else is there?

I read somewhere that ITV know about the problem and they intend to fix it by June 21 which is today. Confused
EDIT: I notice they've been phased in the new ITV.com logo.

. . . and Internet Explorer, especially since Mac/IE is no longer available, and given the fact that it wouldn't support the
totally unnecessary* digital restrictions management technology that ITV have decided to use for video streaming.

(*Especially on UK shows made by ITV itself like Corrie and Emmerdale)

Currently, ITV1 is okay, ITV3 has vision but no sound, and ITV2/4 is unavailable. All soap videos can be viewed in full. Check that a pop up blocker is not stopping a SECOND security upgrade on your PC.
