Since buying my iMAc I have watched ITV catch up TV on it with no problems. Today (10/01/14) ITV tells me I have ad- blocking software that will not allow them to show the necessary adververts. I can find the pop-up blocker box in SAfari but nothing else and this does not do the trick.
Has anyone any advice please?

Thanks and your suggestion worked. But stranger things were that the same thing happened on a windows laptop. This morning all back to normal and ITV player works on Safari too. So maybe there was a problem at ITV?
But a great suggestion about a second browser and Firefox now downloaded. I resisted MS explorer as having made the leap to MAc I need to distance myself from MS (apart from the laptop until that falls over).
Thanks

You could try another browser, such as Firefox, iCab, & others, and set that up differently than Safari; and use various browsers for several other things. Some have to be more secure, others may be better for visiting some sites, and if there is content that is better served by another, have more than two browsers.
You can also choose to have a different browser be the system default in your computer, so it will launch instead of Safari. You do not remove Safari in order to run any others, instead use its preference setting to choose one that you've installed, if you want it as the primary one that launches on demand. Some play well together so it is possible to have two different browsers windows open at once, without software conflict.
Just be sure the main OS X system software and the browsers are kept up to date; and be certain the settings don't expose you to more than you want from your browsing experience.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
I haven't met this yet because I have limited my catch up TV to BBC. But as a commercial station, I can well imagine such an approach by ITV. If you think about it, it is their raison d'être.
ITV says I have ad blockers
