iplayer on Samsung TVs

[Miker]

I have a 40" Samsung Series 8 TV and a Sony BDP-S570 disc player. I am able to get ITV via the BBC iplayer on my PC, but not on my 570 which is limited to the BBC stations. Does the same limitation apply to the BBC iplayer service via the Samsung internet service, or would I be able also to get ITV?

Are you sure you're just not going to the ITV player site on your PC: http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/. I doubt very much that the BBC would provide a platform for it's biggest rival.....

They do. I believe it was considered anti-competitive to just show bbc.

I apologise, I stand very much corrected! 😳

It does seem very 'wrong' / odd tho. If there was anything I wanted to watch again from ITV, I would naturally head towards the ITV website, I would have thought most people are the same.
