Im thinking of purchasing this TV but unsure and cannot get info about the catch up tv services on it, i understand that i can get bbciplayer but unsure about itv player and channel4 and channel 5 catch up services, no one seems to know

HELP

It's just a cheap Vestel set, so catch-up services are usually pretty limited.

Rather than relying on the 'in built' apps - which are usually limited - surely it would be better to buy a Chromecast (£20) or Roku streaming stick (£50) ?

That way you're not limited to any future software updates by the manufacturer.

I bought this set for our bedroom in September.
I would give it a wide berth if I were you.
Keeps losing the wifi signal ( a laptop in the exact same position had no problems) the dvd mechanism is noisy, not ideal for a bedroom and it has just started a new fault where the screen darkens and then switches of mid programme. Been on to Tosh support who suggested a reload to factory settings which I have done , but still not happy so will probably be going back to them to see if they can resolve the problems.
May have been better with a better quality tv and seperate smart dvd player.
You get what you pay for I suppose.
