ITV catchup???

[JethroUK]

Now we got BBC iplyer & no plans to add any HD channels

What is the chance of ITV catch on V+??? (ITV cache a month instead of BBC one week)

Not a lot, in the forseeable future. From my brief and rather uninformed glimpses of financial pages it does seem that they are, ITV and SKY, seeking a divorce. If it goes through, perhaps Virgin have a chance. But I wouldn't hold your breath.

LONDON - ITV is expected to launch its content on Virgin Media's video-on-demand service in the coming months, with Five also in talks to join the VoD offering.

It is thought the launch of ITV's content on the VoD service is being held up by negotiations over who will control ad sales around ITV content.

Last week, Channel 4 started carrying ads around its content on the Virgin Media VoD service, despite having its content there since last year.

This sort of stuff can take months and months to appear as a reality on our screen.
