ITV Catch up

[rogerb]

I wonder if anyone else is having this problem when watching programmes on ITV Catch-up through a VPN over the internet. Whenever a programme reaches a commercial break we get a blank screen for several minutes, then, when the programme restarts, we get the sound from the adverts 'bleeding' through the programme dialogue for several minutes.

Just watched last weeks episode of Downtown Abbey with no problems, my VPN is 'Surfeasy'

I have not experienced any problems either. Perhaps it is something to do with your setup?

I'm beginning to think it must be my set up although it does it on BOTH laptops (one running Windows 7 and the other Windows 10) regardless of whether or not they're connected to the TV. It's beyond me but is so annoying. I was hoping someone else had experienced this and could suggest a fix. Thanks for your input.

It happens to us,just pause till adverts over.

Think the blank screen bit is interactive tv ads

It has happened many times to me, when the program starts again after the adverts the adverts sound is still playing in the backround. I think sue15 is right about the blank screen bit. I usually minimise the screen and adverts start again as normal. Must be a problem with ITV Catch up.

Thanks folks, I'll try your suggestions.
