I haven't used ITV's player, but I've used Channel 4's and don't really have any complaints. I don't like how you have to select your programme from a drop-down list though; I want thumbnails, damnit. They don't show adverts either, as far as I've seen so far.
I love iPlayer. I can't really fault it. |
