If you’re looking to stream content from ITV’s channels, such as ITV1, ITV2, and ITVBe, you’ll need an account with ITVX, formerly known as the ITV Hub. This service allows you to watch live or on-demand content, making it the go-to platform for popular shows like I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, gripping detective dramas, family favorite films, and reality hits like Love Island.
However, there’s a catch – ITVX is only available in the UK. This means if you’re abroad or on holiday, you won’t be able to access ITVX. But don’t worry, there’s a workaround that allows you to watch ITVX from anywhere, whether it’s on your PC, Mac, TV, iPhone, or Android device.
Watch ITVX Abroad with a VPN
If you want to access ITVX outside of the UK, the best solution is to use a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN enables you to browse the internet as if you were in another country, tricking the ITVX website or app into thinking you’re located in the UK even when you’re not.
There are numerous VPN options available, but we recommend NordVPN and SurfShark for their speed, reliability, and user-friendly interface. Once you’ve subscribed to and installed your chosen VPN on your device, follow these steps:
Find a Server
Open your VPN on your device and select a server based in the UK.
Launch ITVX
Visit the ITVX website or app on your device – it should recognize you as being in the UK.
If it doesn’t work initially, try switching to a different UK server on your VPN, as some servers may be blocked by ITVX. Also, disable any ad blockers, as they could interfere with the streaming platform.
Sign In
If you haven’t already, create an ITVX account with a valid email address, date of birth, and a UK postcode. Then sign in to start watching your favorite shows.
