Trying to watch the 6 Nations via vpn.

Iplayer does OK, but ITV Hub continuously needs refreshing.

It should be OK - the only thing I don't like about ITV hub is the UI.

ITV is awful. iplayer allows us yo watch fine on a Samsung tablet, as does Sky Sports/BT sports app. Virgin go and ITV are just dreadful. Laggy pictures, impossible to watch anything 'fast' moving e.g. Tour de france, footie, Rugby.

Only time it works is when the sodding adverts are on....

Dreadful. Cant watch the rugby on it, it plays for 1 minute then freezes, then plays one frame every second. Only seems to be a problem with sport, though.

It has un-skippable adverts, so yes a totally broken platform through which to watch anything.

Crap. I gave it trying to watch a program on my laptop when it prevented me switching to another tab while the advert was running. It pauses adverts in it isn't the top window.

I appreciate nothing is free. But I pay my licence fee for BBC. Have Amazon Prime. Sometimes Netflix.

ITV doesn't offer enough to add yo my subscriptions. Do it's a no from me.

Probably not help with a VPN but it’s not great for live stuff.

I've had my moments with it in the past, but it works well now on my phone and iPad (and PC). But...

It won't Chromecast live shows, which means I'm stuck with small screens during the rugby (today) and during the TdF,

That's a bit of a pita.

Adverts I get. Standard definition only seems just a way to get you to subscribe

The channel 4 one seems a more reasonable compromise
