    Just tried this, and I noted on the install menu, some people will not get ITV1!

    You also have to put in a postcode, and guess what as I live in Scotland - no ITV1. (Scotland is served by STV instead). I assume this applies across all of Scotland?

    I uninstalled it and reinstalled so I would get startup screen again, and I put in an english postcode, and guess what I now get ITV1.

    So if you live in Scotland, put an english email adress in!

    I am actually english, but nice one ITV - you could be honest and say why Scotland is excluded, or get in gear and include STV in this as well!

    Does same apply to Northern Ireland, Wales etc?

    Why don't you just enter an English post code appropriate for the ITV region that you want to watch. This is the purpose of you entering it in the first place, as with Freesat, and many Freesat users do exactly that so they can watch ITV1 HD. Different regions have different advertising including references to special offers only available there.

    STV, UTV and Channel are not part of the central ITV company. Channel have their own catchup player. - I believe STV and UTV do also.

    I can't find this in my Android Market!

    I'm on Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.3 and I've searched but can't find it!

    Plus, any time I try and download it from the Internet it just says 'The requested item could not be found' :confused:

    Actually after I made the note above I found more information in the FAQs on the installed application

    People in the Borders region can access it. What is interesting is that they claim to check your location via your GPS location settings, and only use postcode if they cannot do that.

    So if you do not get chance to enter your postcode, you may need to hide/turn off you location?

    Fortunately, you can reset things by fgoing to manage applications, select iplayer, and select "clear data", Next time you start up iplayer (GPS hidden/off), you can enter a (english) postcode/email again.

    Yep also an iPad version too. Works fine. Didn't ask for postcode or anything.

    I would have thought that itv would make a player for all smartphones. But no - it appears that they only support certain android phones and 1 tablet.

    "Supported devices

    At present, the devices we support are:

    - HTC Desire HD
    - Acer Liquid Metal
    - Xperia Play
    - Samsung Galaxy Tab
    - Samsung Galaxy S2"
