Panasonic Vieira TV & ITV Hub CatchupTV Service

Has or does anyone use the ITV Hub for CatchupTV on a Panasonic Vieira TV?

I ask because I find the service totally useless! The majority of programmes I wish to watch are not listed, not available and I've searched from top to bottom!

Has anyone else had this problem? Perhaps it is me, if so, then the programme I wish to watch is hidden very well. The programme is available via my smartphone app and via my PC/Laptop, so it can't be a licensing issue.

Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Crikey, theyve still not sorted that out?
This is why we bought a Samsung 4 yrs ago and am about to buy a second TV and was thinking of a Panasonic.

You're not alone - I've found the same thing - but I think it's because the current Panasonic offering is tied up to 'Freeview Play' which allows a catch up of the last 7 days rather than being the full offering.

The cheapest option I've found is probably a Now TV box - which does offer the catch up services for all the main terrestrial channels - I picked one up for £ 18 with 3 sports passes included, which I'll use at some point this year on F1 no doubt and then after that just use the box without subscription.

Not just Panasonic - at least Panasonic are offering something on the ITV Player platform - there are many manufacturers who aren't even doing that.
