What is ITVX?
ITVX is a free UK streaming service, licensed for viewers in the United Kingdom. Viewers in Greece cannot open it directly, because the service checks the IP address and blocks connections from outside the UK. BritVPN presents a UK address so the app treats you as a UK viewer.
Why ITVX is blocked in Greece
ITVX checks where each stream request comes from and, under ITV's broadcast agreements, plays only to UK addresses. A Greek fibre line, a villa's Wi-Fi or a Greek mobile network all count as outside the UK, so live ITV and catch-up are both refused.
Two hours ahead of the UK
Greece runs on Eastern European Time, two hours ahead of the UK, and both switch their clocks on the same weekends. A 9pm drama on ITV1 starts at 11pm in Athens or Thessaloniki, and a two-part finale can run well past midnight.
Daytime and early-evening ITV fits Greek evenings neatly. For anything later, ITVX catch-up lets you watch the next day at a time that suits you.

Holiday downloads with ITVX Premium
If you're travelling from the UK, ITV's own answer is downloads. ITVX Premium subscribers can save most shows to the ITVX app on an Android or iOS phone or tablet before leaving the UK, and each download plays offline for up to seven days.
Some programmes can't be downloaded for licensing reasons, the free tier has no downloads at all, and nothing live is included. For a longer stay, or to watch ITV1 as it airs, you need a UK connection.

Watching on the islands and in rentals
BritVPN works on the devices you bring with you. A phone or tablet is the simplest option; if the rental's TV has a spare HDMI port, a Fire TV stick with BritVPN turns it into a UK telly for the week.
Shared Wi-Fi can slow down in the evening when every guest is online. If a live stream stutters, the same programme on catch-up an hour later is often smoother.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch ITVX in Greece?
Not on a Greek connection. ITVX streams only to UK addresses, so you need a UK connection such as BritVPN, which offers a 3-day free trial.
How can I watch ITV in Greece?
Connect BritVPN, open ITVX and pick ITV1 or another channel to watch live, or choose a programme from the catch-up library.
What time is ITV on in Greece?
Two hours later than in the UK, all year round. A 9pm ITV1 programme starts at 11pm Greek time.
Can I download ITVX shows to watch in Greece?
Yes, with ITVX Premium, if you download them in the UK before you travel. Each download plays offline for up to seven days.
Does ITVX need a UK postcode?
Yes, signup asks for one. Use a UK address you have permission to use, never a made-up postcode.
Is it legal to watch ITVX in Greece?
Using BritVPN to reach a UK service is lawful in itself. You still have to follow that service's terms, and BBC iPlayer separately expects a UK TV licence.
