If you are a British expat, a student overseas or simply on a temporary business trip, you will notice right away that your choice of TV is either limited or not to your home bred taste. A lot of exapts in USA, Australia, Canada, Qatar, Dubai, UAE, or Spain know what I am talking about. For those who want to watch ITV on PC, Mac, Apple TV, Roku, Fire Stick, iOS, or Android overseas, follow this guide.
How to Watch ITV in USA – The basics
If you try to watch ITV outside UK, you will get a geo-location error that states the following. “We’re sorry. ITV Hub is only available to viewers in the UK.” If you want to bypass this error and watch ITV Hub in Spain, Australia, USA, Canada, or anywhere else outside UK, you have to spoof your online location as explained in the following tutorial. This guide should work on all devices supported by ITV, namely IOS, Android and Smart TVs. The guide is also valid for itv1, itv2, itv3, itv4, itv player and c-itv. So if you want to enjoy British shows such X Factor and Coronation Street or live and free, please see the below :
First you need to setup either Smart DNS and or VPN.
When visiting ITV you will be asked whether you want to give ITV access to your browsers location. When asked, deny access to the ITV player site.
Once you do that you will be asked about a Postcode, simply go to London Town Site and choose a London Postcode and insert it into the ITV site.
How to Watch ITV outside UK with VPN
As mentioned in step 1 above you need either DNS or VPN. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and is a network concept that creates an encrypted tunnel between your computer and the VPN server. This allows for :
You can change your location to appear to be coming from the UK or US or elsewhere depending on the location of your VPN server.
Your traffic is encrypted and protected from inspection and eavesdropping.
You will be able to access all websites based on the location of your VPN server. So if you choose a VPN server in the UK, you will get BBC Iplayer, Demand 5, ITV and UK Netflix. If you choose a VPN server in the USA you will get Hulu Plus, Fox, HBO Go and US Netflix.
Setup of VPN from subscription to setup is an affair of a couple of minutes “Apps for all mobile and desktop OS”.
