ITV Player, 4OD "This Week" on PS3

TSA Writes:
If British tax-dodging newspaper, The Guardian, is to be believed, we’re getting two new channels added to the PlayStation 3′s catch-up TV services. The liberal paper has spoken to several key players in the deals and is reporting it as an example of the convergence of new and old media.

It's about time we got these, I would use 4oD all the time on my laptop... should make things easier.

[robep3]

There was a Playstation add in the Sunday Papers that stated
ITV player and 4OD would be on the playstation soon!

[ForzaGT]

BBC iplayer, nowfilms, now these two, its looking good now

[4cough]

Sky player please

[outwar6010]

dude isnt everyones sky box like inches away from the ps3 anyway it would be pointless to extra for a dodgy app when u get the full experience with ease

[kharma45]

Not always, you might have Sky in one room but not in the same one as the PS3 and multiroom may not be for some reason an option.

Plus you can use Sky Player if say you were at uni with your PS3 and your parents paid for a multiroom sub.

[jjmustoe]

@kharma45

you have to pay £7.50 a month for Sky Player + 5.99 for Xbox Live Gold

multiroom is 9.99 a month + a free sky box

[Si-Fly]

@outwar ; nope, I have a seperate games/geek out room to keep the GF happy, sky player would be a welcome addition!

[redsquad]

My dad has hijacked the Sky box for another room (can't complain, as he's disabled!), so I get lumbered with Freeview. Sky Player on PS3 would come in handy!

[kharma45]

Ah but if Sky Player was to come to PS3 you'd be able to negate the ~£5 for XBL Gold.

[outwar6010]

but ps3 is a multi media hub powerhouse you can have tons of movies(i hav 43) all your music(976) 8it just seemed logical for me but oh well

[Vherostar]

Sky player means a second paid subscription = no tahnkyou. If you want paid stuff goto 360 theres plenty to spend your money on there. If you want Sky in another room get multiroom its cheaper than getting it on 360 and you get more.

[Lucreto]

I seriously don't understand why people would give Rupert Murdoch their money while there is cheaper alternatives out there.

[MaximusPrime]

Ignore 4cough. He is a typical dumb xbox fanboy. He was banned from official ps forums few years ago because of his trolls and dumb comments.

On topic, I don't want sky player because I got sky hd + in the main room. That is enough.

[Undeadwolfy]

w00t! Awesome and about time. M$ have a contract with sky so i cant see sky doing anything on the ps3 till the contract expires. Sony should do something similar with Virgin Media. Talk about your console wars.

[Thecraft1989]

ITV player uses silver light dose it not so would the ps3 not need update or the browser ?

[kharma45]

It may get a dedicated app like LoveFilm.

[mushroomwig]

I hope so, 4OD will be great on my PS3. The Peep Show is one of my favorite shows. :]

[outwar6010]

lolz peeep show is epic i reeeely want them to do another season of the bubble that was great

[Rage_S90]

what i want to know is whether they show the champions league on itv player?

[Eamon]

The Guardian evaded tax?! ROFLMAO. I didn't hear of that!

[outwar6010]

I KNOW lolz

[BBCnewsrocks]

Dunno if the site is being sarcastic or they actually hate liberal media. The Guardian is usually seems quite eager to slam on tax evaders.

[outwar6010]

itv sucks its just baaaad television with "no" factor lolz but bring on 4od i can finally watch misfits in full hd glory along wid skins etc yaaaaay i feel like less pissed of at scee

[Raoh]

i wish i could get some of the uk television offerings here in america..

then i wouldnt have to resort to downloading the it crowd and misfits from torrents every week.

[maniac76]

nice one,although i dont really use it.

[mcstorm]

Looking forward to the 2 apps I use my ps3 for playtv and Xbox for sky as it works out cheaper for me than sky or virgin bundle so adding 4od and ITV player too this list will be a big + for me as I used 4od alot when I had tiscali tv last year. IP tv is defo the best way to go.

[Wizziokid]

woop another two great services! :D
