Worldwide brand Sony has been established for over 70 years. In 2005, Sony’s Bravia brand hit the retail market and since then, consumers have been huge fans of these devices released under the Sony corporation.
As with many smart TVs, Sony Bravia televisions come with the ability to use YouView. The YouView service provides access to over 70 TV channels including BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and more. YouView also gives us seven-day catch-up, the option to pause, record and rewind shows as well as on-demand TV players such as the ITV Hub.
ITV is well-known for producing some of the best TV out there from TOWIE to Take Me Out, Love Your Garden, Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and much more. Thankfully, if you ever miss an ITV programme, there’s always its on-demand player – The ITV Hub. So, let’s take a look at how to get ITV Hub on a Sony Bravia TV.
