There are some additional warnings – so see below for full details.
What is ITVX Premium?
ITVX is ITV’s alternative to ITV Hub: a comprehensive streaming service with a large library of TV shows and movies from the ITV archives.
The free, ad-supported version of ITVX includes catch-up content from ITV’s linear channels, as well as box sets from ITV’s past and ITVX exclusives.
Over the past year, ITVX has seen a significant increase in subscribers, especially due to exclusive broadcast rights to popular programs such as Big brother, Love Island And major sporting events.
Earlier this year, ITV’s children’s content also moved to ITVX – when Long-running channel CITV has closed.
However, the journey was not entirely smooth ITVX has had its fair share of missteps And Compatibility issues.
ITVX is available in most… Streaming devices In the United Kingdom, (incl As of recently, Sky Q. However, ITVX is missing from a few Old Freeview boxes (included, For now, Manhattan boxes) And Prey boxesBeside Old smart TVs.
In addition to the free tier, ITVX has an optional Premium tier that removes most ads and gives you access to… BritBox’s complete content libraryWhich includes over 4,000 hours of classic British shows and films.
A few months ago, ITVX has also added Studio Canal shows To its premium level, at no extra cost – it’s a European streaming service that normally costs £4.99 a month on its own.
This adds over 400 titles to ITVX Premium, with films such as Paddington 1 and 2the new evil dead Reboots, classics like Apocalypse nowTV shows like Hannibal (Previous series to Silence of the Lambs), all eight popular French procedural series spiral And much more.
Just remember that, unfortunately, ITVX Premium does not remove all advertising: live ITV channels will of course still have ad breaks, but also – Most American shows and movies still have intermissions Which shows promos and trailers for ITVX, due to strange licensing agreements.
How can I get ITVX Premium for £1?
To take advantage of the ITVX offer, all you have to do is subscribe to it ITVX Premium via web browser.
Although the subscription page mentions the coupon code “ITVXBF1“, are added automatically – so you don’t need to actually type them anywhere.
And if you haven’t ordered your ITVX Premium free trial before – you’ll also get 7 days free before your first charge.
After the seven free days expire, the subscription will automatically renew at £1 per month for two months.
You must redeem the offer through December 4, 2023, And you can’t subscribe to it directly on most third-party devices (like Fire TV or Roku).
So, you have to use the web version of ITVX to register first, and then you will be able to stream the content on any supported devices. One exception is the iOS app, which also appears to allow people to join the deal directly.
One important caveat is that only new ITVX Premium subscribers are eligible.
So, if you have an active ITVX Premium subscription, you won’t be able to ‘add on’ 2 months for £1 (although in my experience with these types of deals – if you’ve had an ITVX Premium subscription in the past, you don’t have to) Longer active – it helps At least try to claim this offer – sometimes this works).
Note that once the discounted months end, the subscription will automatically renew at the regular price (£5.99 per month) – so don’t forget to cancel before that happens, if you don’t want it to continue.
