    My Samsung TV has received a greatly improved ITV Player. Would be nice if we could have this on Freetime boxes. I was able to watch Unforgotten Ep.2 from start to finish without once having to restart.

    Not sure why you have to restart ITV Player James? Granted the PQ is no better than YouTube but it does what it says on the tin. I've never had restart issues with it.

    It's a pity the same can't be said for C4 which always gives the impression it's about to either buffer or quit altogether, especially at ad breaks.

    P.S. On a completely different note, has anyone had a play around with the new Firefox Panasonic TVs yet.

    Not sure what you are watching on YouTube, but 1080p content is streets ahead of ITV player.

    Try these
