Not sure if anyone else has posted this and I really don't have time to check but has anyone come across this?

Looks like it might be ITV's internal intranet?

How could they get an amazingly-done Intranet like that, and then be content with the apauling website they have?

I'd hardly call it appalling.

I personally dislike it very much, but I know many on here love it.

Used to like it, I'm so over it now looks terrible.

ITV seem to be making strides with the Mac compatibility side of things, with the menu bar and play buttons looking more right now.

Shouldn't be long hopefully before video functionality is added!

'bets' has been added to the menu. I think it's rather unnecessary myself, seeing as they have it featured on 'games'.

Are any of the videos on the site working at the moment as they're not on my PC?

Is anyone having the problem that the live feeds only broadcast in 4:3, on my 16:9 monitor the 16:9 picture sits in the middle.

Is there any news on when the full 30 day catch up will launch.
It was obviously working before for that short period once somebody found the link months ago, but now there must be some reason that it was taken down.

The ITV Video Player has suddenly decided I don't have Flash Player installed, even though I DO have it installed!

Oh, and there's this little gem on the system requirements page:

Quote:

The ITV Video Player relies on embedding a Media object in the web
browser’s page. This requires that you use Internet Explorer.


We all know that the use of IE has been a necessary evil since ITV.com relaunched, and I've begrudgingly gone along
with it (by using the IETab add-on in SeaMonkey) but to effectively suggest that IE is the only browser that supports
the display of embedded media content within webpages, is nothing short of downright misleading.

Clueless idiots!
