    +1, same as Foxsat-hdr. I don't have any issues with all4 on freetime at all.

    Same here. All4 is fine. Once ITV Player is replaced I'll be happy.

    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.

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

    I should have said the early YouTube content Graham - you know the thing, lots of mush.

    All4 or whatever it is now has received many posts on this subject for some time now. I have started a thread in the past about ad break blackouts then refusing to restart.

    I have never experienced this on the admittedly few times I have used all4.

    I've had trouble with All4 in the past but not for some time now. C4 and ITV both seem to have finally got a grip on their dynamic ad insertion problems.

    Watching Grand Designs House Of the Year from Wednesday 11th November. Was faced with black screen near end of first ads. Pause and play restored playback which is fine. Will post later what happens on any later ad breaks. Can you see if you can replicate James ?

    No further issues with playback (two further ad breaks).
