is it just me or is this worse than itv player? which I thought wasn't possible!
its lagging and keeps getting an error part way in which is great if u love adverts as it restarts u at the beginning with the same 3 adverts.
total crap

I concur

Doomedspeed · 30 Jan 2012 at 21:21

I agree. Its gone really bad.

TFleming · 30 Jan 2012 at 21:24

Still wouldnt say its as bad a ITV player, but yeah its not a patch on iPlayer.

4od is crap and has crap programs , itv player is just pants.

iplayer and skyplayer are the best ones imo , fives player isnt to bad either and has a few gems sometimes.

virgin media player is the worst of the lot though considering its only available to virgin customers......

Haven;t used 4oD but my god ITV Player is awful, constant buffering whilst trying to induce myself into Jeremy Kyle really grinds my gears. The same with streams also, almost punched my laptops screen through last night I got that mad with the stream of Royal Rumble constantly buffering. Yes I have a short temper when it comes to things like this.

Just went there for the first time to see what Misfits is like, the playback quality, adverts, layout, etc. are terrible.

Try their YouTube channel instead.. much better imo.

edit: Just a bit of a pain finding what you want.

It only started giving those errors recently in fairness.

Crowort · 30 Jan 2012 at 21:46

It wasn't too bad until they added the ads only just lately. iplayer is the best I've used but 4od has a much better catalogue of older programs. A lot of the older stuff is very low quality just because it was filmed so long ago.

I don't mind the ads really but things are a bit buggy now because of them.

4od now detects adblock plus and won't play unless you disable it.

dirtychinchilla · 30 Jan 2012 at 21:57

It's buggered atm, I can't get past more than 2 lots of adverts without it having an error and adblocker no longer works on it. 4od youtube is alright though, not even any adverts as far as I can remember (I'm not sure how popular world's toughest trucker is tbh, may not be primetime).

I hate ITV player and 4OD with a passion. I will forever download as it's much easier and HD quality !!

Gambisk · 26 Mar 2014 at 12:10

I didn't realize that they now blocked ABP, downloads ahoy!

40D on Android is terrible, it refuses to load a video completely (after showing me a load of ads) then another time, it will work fine (after showing me a load of ads)
Reboots, different OS versions, nothing seems to matter!
