The TV streaming service, which allows users to watch TV channels live online, faced legal action from broadcasters. A ruling now bans TVCatchup from streaming ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 over mobile networks.
Those channels and several others are still available through the TVCatchup website and on mobile devices via WiFi. In addition, the court told TVCatchup that it cannot stream certain digital channels on its web-based service. Users watching channels including ITV2, E4, Film4 and More4 will now be re-directed to their homepages.
A total of 11 channels have been removed from TVCatchup's iOS and Android apps. A message on the app says the service hopes to restore these channels as well as add new ones in the future. TVCatchup told Newsbeat that the ruling won't have too much of an impact.
The statement read: "The loss of certain channels accounts for a small percentage of our viewing figures, although preservation of choice remains important to us."
