Looks interesting. More personalisation is a welcome feature, but I'm not so sure about breaking it out of the programmes pages - I think the current system is very well structured.

iPhone app is going to launch next month, too.

About time 4OD got a refresh, but I just hope the video quality improves with it. I'm not expecting HD but it would be good.

If only they managed to bring it to Anytime+.

It has a bit more of a iPlayer feel to it, which seeing ITV Player went down that route is by no means a bad thing. I wonder if they'll change the PS3 version of 4oD to match like BBC have done.

Aaaaand it's live.

I like the homepage (although something seems wrong with the slider at the top with images that are too small) but I'm still not convinced that the actual video pages are that much of an improvement.

Any difference to the video quality at all? (I would check but I'm out of the UK atm.)

There's a new video player. Seems marginally better, not sure if it's much to write home about but I don't really notice these things!

The new player is largly similar to YouTube's version. However I got bored after watching a whole 100 seconds of adverts.

Been using Firefox and ABP for years, it disables YouTube ads, but have never got it to work on ITV and 4oD.

That's strange - either you are on the wrong list or have an outdated version, it works fine for me on ITV and 4oD.
