Anthony McNally:

I've not heard any other reports of this, have you tried a retune? But as I don't' have one of these I don't know if that affects any previous recordings you may have.
If no-one else posts any useful hints, you could try SUPPORT | HUMAX-United Kingdom if you don't have any luck solving this.

Moya barker : What device are you trying to it on? If it's a phone or tablet you should be able to find in in the App Store or Play Store. On a PC or laptop just go to https://www.itv.com/ . For a TV, set top box or smart stick try looking for an App Store or similar, otherwise let us know the make and model so someone can check.

What is the reason the has disappeared from our screens? It was surely very popular regularly screening colourised images of original monochrome newsreels.

Nicholas Anderson: The closure was announced last month, closed on all platforms on 6th January. Some of the programmes are available for free on the My5 catchup/on demand service and some are available to Paramount+ subscribers. There is supposed to be a free Smithsonian stream being added to Pluto TV, however it doesn't seem to be there yet.
