ITV X on V6
This is still an issue. Live ITVX is still not available on the V6 version of the ITVX app. Why?

Post moved to a new thread. I've got a recollection this is a "feature" of the V6 build of ITV's app, that there is intentionally no live-TV provision.
The argument is that you have EPG access to all of ITV's broadcast channels, and it ITV choose to make particular content online-exclusive, you can either complain to them or access it via a desktop/laptop PC.
It seems that ITV, the same as Sky & and few other broadcasters, view the VM TiVO platform as a legacy product & no longer offer updated apps.
I suspect ITV and Sky aren't the issue and VM are deliberately not updating apps on the V6 as part of 'you must convert to 360 blackmail'. It'll need a lot more than that for me to downgrade.

More than likely it is the broadcasters. On Freeview & Freesat they don’t update apps on any kit that is more than 5 years old. In 2016 I bought a cheap Freesat receiver from Argos to get a couple of extra channels. It was a model that while still in stock was no longer produced (2011 model). It had BBC iPlayer & ITV hub installed. The ITV hub ceased to work 6 months after I bought it, the BBC app a year later.

I can't recall when the ITV-Hub was relaunched as ITV-X, in relation to the whole V6/TV360 timeline.
Sky are developing the Sports HD multiscreen for V6.
