Anyways a network of television channels involving 15 different franchises owned by three companies. Each of these companies shares programs they broadcast over the entire network.

ITV Player
The ITV website has a completely different subsection known as the ITV Player. All streaming video can be viewed from this section. This website refers to this area as your place to “catch up” on all your missed programs. We were particularly impressed by the ITV Player. Currently, it is in its beta stage and they are still testing but we found no issues with usage. Their ITV Player section will allow you to catch up on missed programs by day they were missed or by most popular watched programs. Additionally, programs can be searched by genre such as drama, action, or comedy. Many of these episodes can be watched for a nominal fee of under a dollar per episode. However, not all videos must be paid for. They provide a service known as "free catch up" that provide its users with episodes that can be watched for free. These videos load very quickly and are generally about 22 minutes in length.

It is possible to schedule all television watching for weeks in advance. This TV Guide can be viewed in multiple manners including horizontal and vertical. The programs listed are available by time and also by iTV channel. This guide can be further customized by changing preferences to only include your favorite channel. Alerts can be set up to be sure you never miss your favorite program. They even offer full tutorials to use their TV Guide.

The ITV player is also available for iPhone and Android mobile devices. This will allow users to watch all their missed episodes from their mobile device. Additionally, there are other free mobile applications that revolve around popular programs to allow users to play trivia or receive the latest news and updates.

There is never any fear of missing out on the latest news and events as this website will also send these updates to your mobile device. Additionally, they also separate news by regions located in the United Kingdom to be sure each user gets the news they are looking for.

Both football and soccer are covered as well as a number of other sports. Additionally, each sporting events has corresponding information as well as images of the events. It’s even possible to place bets on sporting events of the United Kingdom from this websites. Additionally, of streaming video can be found embedded in various places of the sports section.
Verdict
The ITV channel website can be highly recommended because it was designed to with users in mind. Their mobile applications can be downloaded for free and are compatible with most popular smart phone devices to allow streaming video and game playing on your phone. The ITV Player, although in its beta stage, was very well thought out as they offer the latest episodes available by popularity, genre, and also by day. Some of these episodes can be watched for as little as 0.99 per video but there are also many that can be watched for free. We found this website to be very easy to use with plenty of video available.
