    Two hours and you're off?

    Is it just me, or does everybody get kicked off after two hours of watching the live ITV broadcasts? It's a bit frustrating when you're watching a 2 hour programme and you've started the viewer just a few minutes before the programme starts to make sure you don't miss any of it, only to find that you get kicked off just before it's about to finish!

     ITV.com has to be the WORST implementation of streaming video on demand! Why don't you allow the downoad of programmes like the BBC and C4? Now THAT would be an idea who's time has well and truly come. Take a look at the BBC model - very fast downloads now, and at bit-rates which allow for exemplorary quailty (albeit with larger file sizes).

    The reason why that might be is because some people have a limited bandwidth they can use per month from their internet service provider and the software ITV.com uses stops after 2 hours as a kind of safty feature so that if someone has forgotten to stop the streaming video they will not waste as much bandwidth
