Freeview users across the United Kingdom who favour ITV through their HUMAX set-top boxes are in for dismay later this month, with two popular devices becoming blocked from using the ITV Hub to catch up on content.
The Humax FVP-5000T and FVP-4000T receivers have each been added to an ever-growing blocklist of TVs and accessories losing their hub privileges from September 29, with televisions from Samsung, Sharp and Panasonic also waving goodbye to access.
The news comes as a huge blow to consumers who get their fix through these TV receivers, and many will be forced to fork out on expensive upgrades to allow them to continue to watch the online ITV platform.
