ITV channel 1 not available in ITV hub. KD55XH9505

[truthseeker2]

Recently bought the Sony KD55XH9505 and finding that the itv hub loads easily as does BBC i player etc. Problem is that the ITV hub will give me all channels except ITV 1 (Which happens to be the channel most sought by my other half  for Coronation St catchup). Tried carrying out a fix which other users have used, having experienced the same issue on different Sony tv models, but cannot find an app on this tv 'YVservicehostAPK'  where clearing the cache then clearing data could possibly produce a solution. Anyone else having this problem or does anyone have a fix which could work on this set?

Hi, talking to Sony about issues with itvhub/youview is like banging your head against a wall, you will get nowhere with it.

The solution to plug an aerial in , tune the stations then unplug the aerial, works for some. 

Itvhub people accepted that there was an issue with their software not accepting a post code, but they added that this problem is unique to Sony TV's.

A while ago they ( itvhub support) did contact me to say they have updated their system to fix the password issue, which it does. So now I can get itv1 catch-up programs, however this itvhub version does not have the option to access itv1 live TV. I use a satellite connection for my live TV viewing so not an issue for me. If you are a cord cutter, and have neither an aerial or a satellite , I don't think you can get live itv1 programs on these very un-smart Sony TV's..
