Does ITV hub app on Chromecast w/ Google TV show live TV?

Just wondering if someone that has the chromecast with google TV can tell me whether live TV can be watched through the ITV hub app? Thank you

    Doesn’t seem allowed casting to Chromecast from an iPad.

    Edit.

    From itv.com:
    ”Please note that only catch up programmes, and not our live channels, are currently available for casting.“

    Bugger thanks anyway. Just bought one and it’s arriving today! Other features are great though and integrate perfectly with my current nest system. I will download the TV player and use that. I am having problems with the aerial at the moment!

    Don't see why not, runs fine on Android TV and that's what it basically is. (edited)

    Wouldn't need to cast using a CC with Google TV. Unless that's what the OP means, you'd be running the app proper. (edited)

    Yes exactly I mean straight from the app. I know the casting doesn’t work hence the question. Unfortunately you can’t stream live in some versions of the app such as the Xbox app - so just asking before I purchase! Thanks that’s good to know

    Haha nothing of the sort! Unfortunately have to be subjected to ITV's terrible coverage of the Euros 50% of the time! WHy can't the apps just show live TV!!
