Hi there- having just switched from ios I am happy with my choice but am disappointed that itv player, demand 5 abd 4od are not available to download as it says that my device is not compatible? ? How do I make it compatible;??

if you install flash you can just use the websites.

First you need to go into settings, then security and then tick allow installation from unknown sources. Then you need to go to google and search for itv player apk. Once you have found this download it and install it. Make sure you have flash installed on your S3. If not go to google and search for flash player apk and install that. Once you have both the itv player and flash installed on your device, go to the google play store and install adobe air if it's not already there. ITV player should now work on your phone.

I had to sideload the ITV app onto my galaxy tab 2 and nexus 7, going to the website didn't work. I got sound but no picture.

OP before you try sideloading the ITV player app as I described above, make sure you tick show full desktop site in your browser when you are loading the ITV player website.

If you have flash installed 4OD should work through the web browser, just make sure you tick show full desktop site.

Use firefox and request desktop site via the options tab. I just tried it and it took me to ITV player on the web.

Because it works with flash on the newer android devices. I don't like it but I had to download the beta version on my nexus 7 to get 4oD to play. It wouldn't work with chrome or Dolphin.

No idea, Chrome and Opera Mobile just give me a nag screen about flash on my S3 when using the link.

Stock S3 browser works fine with it though, as long as you have decent signal.
