How to add ITVX to your Amazon Firestick when outside the UK (Downloader app version)

ITVX

The ITVX  is a video streaming service, designed for users in the UK only.

The ITVX FireStick app is only available for UK residents.

If you try to add ITVX  app to your Firestick whilst in Spain, then you may not find it in the available apps in your apps store. This is because it is “geo-blocked”, using your internet IP address to check whether or not you are located in the UK.

However it is possible to manually install the ITVX  app on your Firestick.

But for people living outside of the UK, you will also need a VPN or Smart DNS service to hide your “non UK” IP address and access the free content on ITVX. We cover VPNs and Smart DNS services for a Firestick on this page : How to set up and use an Amazon Firestick in Spain for ITVX
