watch-itv-hub-on-firestick-from-abroad

This is a step-by-step guide on how to install ITV Hub on FireStick, Fire TV, and Fire TV Cube from abroad. 

ITV Hub (now known as ITVX) is a UK-based online video-on-demand streaming app that gives its subscribers access to a huge library of original ITV content as well as TV shows, movies, and programs from other sources.

If you want to be able to choose from a variety of TV programs on your TV screen, you should get ITV Hub on your device especially if you’re a fan of British dramas.

If you’re outside the UK and trying to access the ITVX (previously known as ITV Hub) then you will face the geo-restriction error that says:

“Due to our broadcast and content license, you can only watch ITVX in the UK.”

I was able to unblock ITVX on FireStick with the help of ExpressVPN and by connecting to the UK server.

3 Ways to Watch ITV Hub on Firestick

I have discussed three methods to watch ITV Hub on Firestick. These methods are:

Since ITV Hub is a British Channel, it is only available in the UK. To watch ITV Hub outside the UK, you will need to use a VPN and connect to the UK server.

Our Recommended VPN – ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is our recommended choice because it assigns you a UK IP address and keeps your online identity anonymous while you watch movies and Shows on ITV Hub.

Hi.

I signed up for ITV through my browser, I have an account, however, none of my log in info works for this app.

Online needs email and password. No probs.
The app needs USERNAME and password. Not the same thing.

I cannot however get live tv. I get …..whoops, what’s gone wrong message and cannot connect.

Can watch previously published content but attempting to watch live shows directs you to the app which you cannot download through the VPN, no way around this that I’ve found regardless of changing location. Only reason I purchased was to watch live.

I still get forbidden on the bit.ly link tried both HTTP and S but same result. Strangely I can down load on the laptop, just not on the Firestick. Browser download works, but then it’s an older version which prompts for an upgrade. Please let us know if and when you update the APK
