ITV has announced plans to introduce micropayments for its ITV Player online TV service early next year.
ITV Player has been confirmed as the latest addition to Freesat.
Freesat is a joint venture between the BBC and ITV, it’s intention is to bring free programmes to UK homes without a subscription. This may also include High Definition programs for the launch in May but at this time this is unclear.
