Does anyone even watch television "live" anymore? Fair enough, sporting events are best enjoyed as they happen, but we can't remember the last time that we sat down at 19:00PM on the dot to catch the latest episode of Emmerdale – it's all about on-demand these days. It's frustrating, then, that the PlayStation 4 has been missing the ITV Player and Channel 4's popular 4OD – recently rebranded All 4 – in the UK. Fortunately, that looks like it could be about to change.
One eagle-eyed Reddit user spotted a glitch in the TV area of his PS4, with logos for each of the aforementioned services included. They were accompanied by 'Test' labels and didn't do anything when clicked, but surely suggest that both will be arriving on British systems soon. We've been unable to replicate the bug ourselves, so do take this with a pinch of salt – but other Reddit members claim to have seen the same thing yesterday.
Are you hyped for the Hollyoaks marathons that you'll potentially be able to indulge in soon? Hum out the theme tune in the comments section below.

The ITV logo is fake. The I is outside the boundary of the box.
And also, 4od doesn't exist any more.
It's now 'all4'
@kingandaval Could be fake, but a couple of people claimed to also see it in the Reddit thread - I'm not sure why they'd lie about something as menial as this. If it is real, it's clear that the logos are just placeholders, so that would explain the branding inconsistency.
This would be good news as far as I'm concerned - no more having to bring the PS3 downstairs to watch stuff from Channel 4! Surprising though, as I was under the impression sony and C4 had some sort of falling out, which was why 4oD was on PS3 but never made it to PS4. It's also not on Sony TVs (or certainly the more recent Bravias) to the best of my knowledge, so maybe that'll change too!
@kingandaval thats what I thought, channel have been advertising 'all 4' a lot. This would seem odd.
Cool But i hope the ITV PS4 App is better than the dreadful PS3 one :-/ Used it ages ago & it was rubbish unlike the brilliant BBC iPlayer one which was perfect.
F***ing FINALLY.
@kingandaval It's not fake actually. I saw it too and took a screen capture on my PS4. Here's a link to my tweet.

If these two are coming then for me in UK the PS4 has nearly every service covered. All that's left is a Skype like app and a dedicated Twitch app.
It happened to me yesterday aswell
