Is There a Way to Watch ITVX (Sky Q's Replacement for ITV Hub)?

ITVX, the new streaming service from one of the UK's leading broadcasting television networks, ITV, is now available. What distinguishes ITVX from its predecessor, ITV Hub, is the sheer volume of ad-supported shows, complete box sets, and films available at launch, which totaled over 10,000 hours. It even introduces an ad-free Premium subscription that includes the BritBox UK library.

But it does not stop there. ITVX also allows you to access ITV's live TV channels as well as a curated selection of FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) stations. You can watch your favorite shows and binge on ITV's original TV shows months before they air on the network's linear channels.

ITVX is currently available on a variety of smart TVs, streaming media players, and set-top boxes, including Freesat, Freeview Play, and YouView-enabled models. One question that Sky subscribers have is whether ITVX is available on Sky Q yet. With the information we've gathered recently, this guide will clarify everything about ITVX on Sky Q.

What's Going on With ITV Catch-Ups on Sky Q?

ITV Hub, ITV's former catch-up platform, never made it to Sky Q boxes, despite the broadcaster's promises.
