Do we know when BT are going to update the ITV Hub App to ITVX.

Most likely on launch date - 8th December.

I have a YouView box that hasn’t updated, but a Samsung TV (few months old) that has. I can now watch live TV from the start if I’ve missed the beginning of the broadcast. Hurrah!

But you still can't chase-play like you can with iPlayer so not otherwise that useful if, for example, you want to watch the footy from kick off skipping over the pre-match drivel.

My Amazon Firesticks have now updated ITV Hub to ITVX.

My Firestick still has the old ITV Hub. So as yet not updated to ITVX.

I took out a trial premium sub - but finding that many of the Britbox films are either missing or very well hidden.

Also, problems on the Amazon Firesticks with live streaming often refusing the start - and errors playing some films like 'Carry on Abroad'.

No sign yet on any of the major tv platforms.

Still no ITVX on my Firestick HD 2020 version or my Firestick HD 2021 version.

I've had them for a while on the Amazon devices - but it still says 'ITV Hub' but loads ITVX

Try removing and re-installing.

Was added to VirginMedia boxes today - and my Amazon has now changed the logo to 'itvX'.

As of this evening the ITVX app has appeared on both my Firesticks after both the Firesticks did a minor software update.

ITV Hub still shown on my Youview box a non pro box. Not that I now use the Youview box much for apps. I use both my Firesticks.

The Firestick app seems a bith buggy with the Britbox intergration.

Any sign of this on any of the BT Boxes. With all the hype this morning, it was disappointing that its still not on my Pro Box.

Looking at

https://support.itv.com/en_us/goodbye-itv-hub-hello-itvx-rkNpVLbSi

it is still to be enabled on Youview as of 9am today.

Looking at

https://support.itv.com/en_us/itvx-accessibility-guidance-r1mQ9uGLi

it is apparent that ITVX on Youview will disappointingly not have subtitles on its live and FAST channels at launch. Other significant platforms are in a similar position.

Pretty poor show if you ask me.

not as if youview didn't know about this. Pretty much everyone else has it except Youview and skyQ from the list @zulu17 published.

Anyone report if it has landed now? or if the britbox app has gone? it will be an even poorer show if britbox fails / goes and itvx hasn't launched.

I can access it in other ways, and doesn't really bother me. For some though BT system is the only thing they use..

I had a feeling we weren't going to see it. do any of the devs have any insight as to why?

It is down to ITV to launch ITVX on BT or Youview. As there are so many issues of one sort or another on other platforms I guess they have delayed handing it over to BT - or BT not willing to accept it.
