Android-Specific FAQ 1 in the sticky FAQs at the top of this section of the Community says:-
Press [Home] button on the remote control
Go to 'Settings'
Go to 'Channel Setup'
Go to 'YouView Setup'
Select 'Disable YouView'
Select 'Yes' to confirm
You will lose all the YouView features, including the 7-day forward and 7-day backward EPG from which you can just click past programmes to watch them on catchup if they are flagged accordingly
You will lose the itv Hub and All4 Players
You will gain the Freeview 7-day forward (only) EPG
You will gain the ability to record
You will gain the ability to tune and watch satellite programmes
If you want the itv Hub and All4 Players back, on the Freeview side, Hoshsadiq is your friend. Google him.
Search Google Browser for Hoshsadiq....I used this to install my ITV & All4 APK's
You can also search ITV.apk & All4.apk as alternative.
