Watch List and Channel 4 catch up

Anonymous — Sun, 19 May 2024 10:41:11 GMT

Firstly I just wanted to say it is good to see much more HD content in the catch up apps, particularly itvX, Channel 4 and UKTV (iPlayer was a given).

However, if I watch content in iPlayer, itvX, My5 (🙊) or UKTV, it is automatically added to Watch List, but anything I test on Channel 4 catch up does not.

It does add to Watch List as expected if I use the global search and add it manually.

Is this expected behaviour or a bug?

Curious! All4 works with the Watch List for me but ITVX does not.

Weird.

I know the Channel 4 app has updated recently as you now get ads when you pause playback when watching on demand content.

What software versions does your box have @gomezz ?

Mine is on:

Component: 4.1.130 (438cc0)

Manufacturer: 0.10.42

Platform: 5546 (f0c4e6e9)

From other posts I suspect gomezz is using a T4000 rather than the Box Pro.

Is the ITVX app now playing HD on your box or is the box itself upscaling ?

Had to wait until half time to check again, on second viewing, it is upscaled SD. I'll try again next week with a Premium trial to see what I get.

Checked a few more Channel 4 titles, they are definitely HD and even have an HD symbol.

I see that HD is on channel 4 on the pro box but not on my mini box where HD doesn't show on my HD 32inch TV in my bedroom.
