After initially launching last summer (http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/04/itv-player-apps-launch-bring-streaming-tv-shows-to-brits-on-ios/) (along with an Android version) offering streaming video on-demand, the UK channel's iOS app has been updated to version 2.0 to offer a live streaming feed of its two channels. Other than just ITV1 and ITV2 over WiFi or 3G, if there's a live event being broadcast that isn't on either, you'll still be able to tune in via the app. Other new features includeAirPlay Mirroring (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/04/airplay-mirroring-coming-to-iphone-4s-not-just-for-ipads/), easier switching between content, improved location detection (to determine what channels are available) and Retina Display quality graphics on the iPad. Unfortunately, The Digital Lifestyle points out catch-up access is still unavailable over 3G, but those with access should grab the new app from iTunes.
