Hey @Cyclops67, ITVX should now be available on your TV actually, it was launched on Dec 8th. If you have a digital aerial connected, go to Google Play Store and search for iTV and click update, then it should switch to ITVX.

I'm sorry @Piscie but I have a Sony television running Google TV and as of 20/12/22, ITVX is still not available for my TV, yet it is available for all other android devices I have.  When I try to choose that ITVX is downloaded to my TV, I get the message "THIS ITEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE" Please see screenshot below.  Any suggestions on how I can resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

@SteveSharkey, Sony postponed the launch of ITVX to Jan 2023, so it should be available during the month, fingers crossed.

@Piscie @SteveSharkey 

I'm extremely disappointed with Sony.  Being one of the largest companies, charging a huge premium to purchase their brands, they are way behind even the cheapest brands when it comes to updating their software and apps and unlike any random app, ITVX is a major app!

 

I've learnt the hard way and it's cost me a lot of money to purchase a Sony TV.  I doubt it if I'll ever purchase anymore Sony products and I hope that others follow me and boycott purchasing Sony products too.

@sonybravia65, woah! Don't you think that's a bit over the top for an app that will be available within days, while you can easily access it from other devices or cast it to the TV till it's available. 
I'm not saying that's ideal. But boycott? Really?

@SkyNet404 - I don't see how it's over the top to boycott Sony.  After all I've paid £900+ to purchase a so-called well-known brand and I still haven't got any update, but yet I am seeing that TV's less than half the price or devices such as Amazon Firestick costing 20-25 times less have already got more updates/apps than rubbish Sony has ever  provided.  I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, but that's how a lot of customers like me feel and that is RIPPED-OFF!

 

Also you said that it will be available within days, but where is your proof?  Sony haven't given a specific date, so I don't know how you could know.  God knows how long it will take.

Yea I can see where you're coming from, and I don't have a date indeed, but from numerous reports online that people contacted their support they said that it's coming in Jan, there's even multiple mentions for it here and on Reddit, but of course, still not the best I know.
