ITV Player to become ITV Pay Player.
ITV chief executive Adam Crozier has unveiled plans for the long-awaited pay version of the ITV Player, more than two years after the broadcaster first pledged to try and break into the micropayment market.

Re: ITV Player to become ITV Pay Player.
Well I for one won't pay to watch ITV content on their player. If there is anything I want to watch on ITV, I record it and watch later.

Agreed! I already find ITV Player very irritating to use with all the ads and trailers, so I usually record ITV, Ch 4, etc programmes and skip through the ads and watch a programme with 60mins air time in about 45 mins!

With the exception of BBC only ever try to watch ( or at least time shifted) recorded programmes.

Re: ITV Player to become ITV Pay Player.
Is there anything on ITV that's worth paying for?
I'm struggling to think of any program that we'ed want to watch for free let alone pay for.
