Unlike iPlayer, trying to use an iPad as a backup device for watching live tv is not a viable option with the itv player IOS app. Firstly, stupid adverts, which you can't skip: I don't have to watch these if I'm watching on TV, so why should I need to watch them just because I'm using a differrent medium? Next! the resolution is really poor: it's lie watching an animation painted in the style of Constable. But then there Is the final coupe d'état; the bloody thing crashes and live streaming just disappears from the options when you reboot the app. My highly comical evening of watching Man City getting turned over in Europe again ruined.
Come on ITV, the BBC are p!ssing all over you here: it's like the X-Factor vs Striclty all over.
