ITV player for Android released, battles BBC iPlayer for streaming crownThere’s a new catch-up TV service in town for Android users. ITV player for Android is now live in the Android Market, offering unlimited access to seven days worth of past programming from the network’s four channels.

Unfortunately, just like the BBC iPlayer app, ITV player does not offer live streaming. In order to use the app you’ll need to be running Android 2.2 Froyo or higher, Adobe Air 2.6 or higher and be connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Now for the fine print. In order to stream content you’ll need to reside in the UK and certain regions will be restricted to ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 programs. Despite the restrictions the app is priced right, even for the most frugal of users.

    Hi Geoff – as it mentions, the phone needs to be running Android 2.2+ and support Flash for the iPlayer app to work. The Wildfire’s processor isn’t powerful enough for Flash, alas. Let us know how you get on with m.tvcatchup.com!

    Not really a battle unless you like endless game shows and reality contests (although admittedly the BBC has caught that nasty virus). Trash TV.
