Freevee (formerly known as IMDb) comes to Apple TV.
Beat me to it.
I thought they'd have to create a standalone app, and hey presto!
I hope FreeVee doesn't have sign-in requirements. But it probably will.

My oldest Roku device updated yesterday, so I'm guessing that the Roku OS 11 rollout is virtually complete given its age.

Noticed the icon/tile for My5 changed on Virgin Media V6 recently, but there wasn't a change in App when I last looked. However I saw the same change on my oldest Roku today and the interface had changed. The menu is now on the left rather than the top of the screen, very like the last interface change they made to BBC iPlayer.
I don't see any other changes, but that doesn't mean there aren't.

I don't know when it happened and if it's on more than one platform, but the BBC Sounds TV App has been updated again on Virgin Media V6.
Changes I have noticed include:
1) Updated station logos - game changing stuff , but seriously it's taken its time as the DJ backgrounds got updated ages ago
2) In the On Air Live Radio part of the TV App it now has Listen Now and Recommended For You sections below the show progress bar and track information. This auto-hides if you leave the controls alone, and pops up again if you start using them and push down the screen.
Not all features appear in all versions of the App, so I won't assume universal roll out. E.g. on VM V6 there are no rewind controls on live radio and haven't been for a while.

According to the Freesat website the Horror Bites app is now rebranded to the Legend app.
No word on their CBS Catch-up Channel UK app from the same joint venture.

Every update seems to make it harder to find stuff.
I just want a clear area on all apps that shows categories, watchlist/favourites and search area.
Can't be that hard...

Exactly. It's like all these app developers didn't pay attention in the User Interface and Design parts in their degree courses. Or simply didn't choose those specialisms when the time came.
Or simply have no common sense.
Or assume that everyone thinks the way they do.
Or do no testing.
Or limit their testing to a narrow number of people.
Or limit their testing to professional testers who are tech savvy.
I could probably go on.

ITV has started showing pop-ups for devices with ITV Hub that won't be supported by ITVX when it arrives.
So those with TiVo boxes will be out of luck.
I’m looking forward to getting this streamer. I will give up my Apple+ subscription and take the paid ITVX streamer, which I am most likely to watch more.

Not for us. though. America next year and we follow the year after that.

On that thread you responded to on Cable Forum about this, further up epsilon said this to me.
ITV Hub on the legacy Tivo outside of Scotland is just a message informing customers that they need to upgrade to a V6. Maybe Scottish Tivo users are about to get the same message? "
It looks like it's been unavailable on Original VM Tivo for a while. They've clearly been using ITV Hub banded folder using VM On-demand like us Scottish V6 customers.
