With the advertisements now airing for the 30 day catch up service, are programmes now available?

I know that some programmes can be viewed from their certain sites, but have they brought back the list of programmes that was available before?

A few additions to itv.com I see. Weather is finally up and looks pretty good. They've also added a page for 'The Sunday Edition' too now.

Plus, you may have noticed that on the menu they have re-named 'Play' to 'games' (first sign of the ITV Play brand going perhaps?)

And a rant now:
- when are they going to give us this '30 day catch up' business (which, from the advertising on screen, you would believe to be available now)
- I wish they'd scale pictures down correctly because it makes it look tacky!

Apart from that, progress is going well Very Happy

I'm impressed with Weather. Simple and good.

They are still refining the News page. Looking better, still only 10 stories though and the image for the top story when in the article is stupid.

A website for Tonight has been added also.

Oh I know! Surely they can spare 1 minute to upload an image without the 'ITV NEWS' banner attached to the left Rolling Eyes

Rolling Eyes That just looks completely shoddy. Add to that the appalling image quality, and it gives you the impression that the entire site was created in Frontpage.

I find it odd that 'Commando: On the front line' is included in the News section of the site. Not sure why they don't have a documentary section - erm, wait, maybe it's because of the lack of documentaries? Confused

I also noticed that they've sorted out the logos on the flash thing on the homepage - that little white background is gone now and on the whole they look better, but the ITV1 logo looks silly because they're using a black '1' as opposed to it being white which would look better.

I've also noticed that on the promos on ITV News for the 'Uploaded' service, there is an option to watch the latest bulletin on the site but it doesn't exist on the current site!
Does anybody know when this feature will become available?

A minor update to ITV.com - The menu now says 'Games' instead of 'ITV Play' - it links to http://www.itv.com/ITVPlay/default.html (although http://www.itv.com/games/default.html is exactly the same). Phasing out the ITV Play brand...?

It's already been mentioned - on the same page of this thread. Laughing
