I've just bought a new Bush 24" TV with Freeview. I keep seeing adverts for ITVX which I had used to watch some programmes on catch up on my laptop - but can I watch it on the TV and if so how?

As I read what you've told us so far, you've not yet connected your TV set to your router. There's no point trying to get any apps to work until you've done so!

Look for the 'WPS' button on your router. (Most modern routers have one). It will probably be fairly small and it will either actually be labelled 'WPS' or it will be marked with a symbol something like this: https://d35v9wsdymy32b.cloudfront.net/v1/images/p7Vb546XbgVDMBwH5zbgZcI1.png

I'll assume that your router has such a button and that you've managed to locate it . . .

Press the 'Home/Menu' button on your TV's remote control. (It's the one with a 'house' symbol on it, in the middle and about a third of the way down).

Use the 'Up' and 'Down' buttons to get to where 'Settings' is highlighted and then press the 'OK' button.

Similarly, locate and select 'Network'.

Again similarly, locate and select 'Press WPS on your wifi router'.

Once you've selected that (by pressing 'OK'), go to your router and press its 'WPS' button. Your TV set should then connect automatically to your router.

Once your TV set is connected to your router, you can access Freeview Play by pressing the relevant button on your remote control. (It's on the left-hand side, below the 'Netflix' one.). Having done so, you can then select your chosen catch-up app, such as BBC iPlayer or ITVX (which might still be shown as ITV Hub on your screen).

It was all going so well till I got to:

Similarly, locate and select 'Network'.

Again similarly, locate and select 'Press WPS on your wifi router'.

I can find Network but nothing that says Press WPS on your wifi router (although I have found the WPS button on the router)
Erm, it means press that (the button on your router)
Sorry, didn’t read that correctly. Have you tried switching I off and back on?
After selecting 'Network', select 'Network Type' and set this to 'Wireless Device'. 'Press WPS on your wifi router' will then show as an item on the Network menu.

The telly or the router?
On the TV
Thanks, Etch. That's hat I was going to post. (I considered mentioning that step before but I was hoping that the default on the TV would be to use a wireless network anyway. It seems that it isn't!)
Unfortunately, picture-wise, 'HD Ready' is not as good as 'Full HD'.
Have you looked at the 21:33 post showing a link to the manual?
>>> Unfortunately, picture-wise, 'HD Ready' is not as good as 'Full HD'.

That only applies to Freeview though, GG, as 'HD Ready' means that the screen is capable of displaying HD signals but there's only an SD tuner built into the set. If you're feeding an HD signal into the set (whether that be from a Sky box, a Blu-Ray player or an HD streaming service), there's no difference in the picture quality.

Ok, getting there! Have managed to access ITV Hub and it is now asking me to sign in on my phone or laptop. I have watched it before on my laptop but I have no idea how to sign in for the tv - I am signed in on laptop but on tv it is giving me a six digit code but I don't know where to put it!
Question Author
Got it! I am in! Many thanks for your patience - god in hell knows how you are supposed to know all that!
Was the manual of no use?
On your laptop, go here to enter the code:

(Note that the code changes every 10 minutes, so you might ned to get a new code by now).
Oops! Crossed posts!

Well done anyway!
