I think the idea behind ITVX is ground-breaking and brilliant, from their point of view.
Pay-or be forced to watch the ads for free. Your choice.
PS-no intention of ever watching Moat. And the first episode of Malpractice was (IMO) terrible. As entertaining as watching pre-recorded reality shows...

From a positive point of view, I find the release of all episodes on day one a great benefit. This compares favourably with Sky, who cant seem to organise the proverbial p1ss up. I watched Blue Lights recently on Sky. Lucky I noticed episode 4 was missing. I wonder how many people didnt. I therefore watched it on the iplayer. It was missing for weeks. I started watching Drift-Partners in Crime. There are ten episodes. They released five straight off. I watched them thinking the other five would be released very soon after. They werent. I then waited five weeks for them to catch up on the basis of one episode per week. That was a couple of weeks ago. It has now disappeared off the schedules completely. So today there are still five episodes available, and I have completely forgotten what it was about. What happened to it?
I wasnt expecting ITVX to radically improve the quality of ITV programmes. Although this is surely a matter of opinion. As far as the adverts are concerned at least you have a choice. They are not the first to do this. Channel 4 have been doing this for ages, as do some of the Prime channels. ITVX at least offer additional content as well as losing the ads, whereas on channel 4 you pay for just losing the ads. On Prime Freevee offer free viewing with ads, I wont turn my nose up, and will gladly watch it, including the ads. The one down side to the ads on at least most of the apps, is that you cant fast forward through them, which you obviously can in the case of a download on Sky. Discovery Plus have started doing my head in on this subject, as they have recently taken to showing the same ad two or three times on the bounce.

I chatted with Sky online this morning to ask them about this. At first she didnt have a clue. Then she came back after asking Google, with the "good news" that the last five episodes will be aired sometime in the Autumn. Thats really good news.
