Because Sony directly licence the BBC iPlayer and My5, but the itv Hub and All4 are only licensed via YouView.

 

And on YouView, these apps want to serve you ads targeted to the TV region you are in, which they can’t determine unless you have tuned in the OTA broadcast channels.

 

A search on this forum for [Link removed] may suggest a remediation.

 

YouView Superuser, but not an employee of YouView, nor retained by them for this purpose. It's purely me speaking
