    We have been trying to find the complete series (three episodes) of "Prey" on ITV Player on our Foxsat HDR, but only the second episode appears to be available. Yet on our TalkTalk Youview box all three episodes are available on ITV Player.

    On further inspection it seems that many programmes available on the Youview version of the players aren't available on the Foxsat players. Anyone know why this is?

    Thanks.

    Usually associated with the broadcast rights the channel negotiated with the content provider.

    Thanks for the reply.

    But are the channel (ITV) and content provider (ITV Player) not the same on the different platforms, or am I understanding this wrong?

    I think the content provider will be the owner of the distribution rights not ITV Player. However I agree that it is odd that only one episode of Prey should be available.
