Who Pays For Itv Love Your Garden

Missed the latest episode of X Factor or I'm a Celebrity...? Or maybe you fancy streaming Broadchurch or Coronation Street on the go.

If so, you'll want to turn to ITV Hub - it's the one-stop shop for getting ITV programmes and channels on demand.

Many people use the web version of ITV Hub, which is available online using most of the popular browsers, however it's also available as an app for both Apple and Android phones.

How to get ITV Hub

Samsung smart TVs have offered ITV Hub as a dedicated app for quite some time, but now selected Sony and Panasonic TVs can also offer the service through their adoption of YouView and Freeview Play electronic programme guides.

Alternatively, if you're subscriber to Sky , Virgin Media , BT or TalkTalk's television and broadband service, you can access ITV's catch-up service through your set-top box. If you don't want to get a pay-TV service, though, there are plenty of Freeview, YouView and Freesat boxes or PVRs (personal video recorders) that can connect to the internet and get ITV Hub.

TV streamers are a handy way to add smart-TV features to almost any TV. They can cost as little as £10 and usually offer other apps like BBC's iPlayer and Netflix. You'll also have ITV Hub if you already own a Playstation 3 or 4, Xbox One or Nintendo Wii.

If you want to want to enjoy your favourite ITV show on the go, you can download ITV Hub apps on Apple, Android and Windows tablets and smartphones.

What can I watch on ITV Hub?

ITV catch up

Whether you love Britain's Got Talent or The Chase, you'll never miss your favourite show again. You can use ITV Hub to catch up on ITV programming after it was originally broadcast. You will need to set up an account before you can play the content - and be aware that all shows will contain adverts (just as they would do if you were watching them live).

ITV live

You can also stream live ITV channels, including ITV, ITV 2, ITV 3, ITV 4, ITV Be and CITV. On the 'Live TV' page, you'll see what's on all ITV channels at that moment - just click the play icon to start watching. Every time you start a live stream, you will be shown a series of adverts, regardless of whether the programme is at an ad break. Also, to stream live TV you'll need a valid TV licence – find out more about the licence with our expert guide .

Can I download shows from ITV Hub?

Users of the standard ITV Hub are unable to download shows. For that privilege, you'll need to subscribe to ITV Hub+ for £3.99 a month. Paying for this enhanced service means you can watch ad-free as well as download shows to watch later on your iOS device (iOS 10 and above). ITV Hub+ works on desktop computers, Apple devices and smart TVs.

ITV Hub tips and tricks

Finding something to watch

You can look for programmes you want to watch by selecting your favourite categories. Or if you have a specific show in mind you can navigate to it using the A-Z list of available programmes. There's also a search bar which lets you enter a look for a programme, person or keyword.

ITV Hub tech tips

The quality of video streaming will depend on your broadband speed – we'd advise you to have at least 2Mbps to use it. Make sure you have the latest version of Flash player installed on your computer, too, and ensure your browser is upgraded to the latest version to get the best possible experience.
