Is ITVX down right now?
ITVX is working for most viewers right now, and there is no sign of a wide outage on the service.
The ITVX status on this page is built from live reports by viewers. When reports jump, the app or the player is often struggling. A calm line means streams are starting in the normal way.
Is ITVX down for me or everyone?
Reports from many towns at the same time point to a wider ITVX outage. One area only points to a local fault or your connection. Try the app on a second device, since a real outage hits phones, TVs and browsers together.
Sign-in problems on the app and website
Sign-in is the step that fails most often when the service is under strain. The app can reject the right password, then ask for it again in a loop. The website can do the same, which is a strong sign the fault is not your account.
On TVs the same fault looks different. The app asks you to sign in every time it opens, even right after you did. Details entered on one device can also fail to carry across to the TV.
Buffering and the something went wrong message
Buffering is the most common report of all. A show can pause every few minutes while other apps on the same TV play fine. Many viewers then see a message saying something went wrong at the ITVX end, often just after the ads finish.
Live channels inside the app
Live channels can fail while catch-up plays without a hitch. The live button may do nothing, or the channel may sit on a loading screen. Catch-up uses a different path, so one can be down while the other still works.
Downloads and watching offline
Downloads on the paid plan can fail in quiet ways. A show can download, then refuse to play without a connection, or vanish from the list before you watch it. Downloads also stop working once they pass their play-by window, which catches many people out.
Common ITVX Problems and Fixes
Most streaming faults clear once the service settles, but these steps fix the ones that sit on your side.
The app buffers every few minutes
Restart your router and the device you watch on. Move the device closer to the router or use a cable for the TV. Close other apps and pause downloads in the house, then update the app if a newer build is waiting.
Something went wrong shows after the ads
Close the app fully and open the show again from the start. On a browser, turn off your ad blocker for the site and reload. If the message follows every show, clear the app cache or reinstall the app.
Sign-in details are rejected in a loop
Stop after a few tries and reset your password once. Sign in on the website to check the new password works. Then sign in on the app or TV with the same details, typing slowly to avoid a wrong character.
Live channels will not start but catch-up plays
Open a catch-up show first to confirm the app itself is fine. Then go back to live and pick the channel again. If live still fails on every device, the fault is on the service side and waiting is the fix.
The app freezes partway through a show
A freeze late in a long session often clears with a full restart of the device. Delete and reinstall the app if it keeps happening on the same device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ITVX down or is my internet the problem?
Play the same show on a second device on your home network. If it buffers or fails there too, the problem is wider than one screen. Reports on this page show if other viewers are hit at the same time.
Why does ITVX show a location error?
The service is only licensed for viewers in the UK, so it checks where your connection comes from. A work or school network can look like it sits abroad.
How do I stop the buffering on my TV?
Restart the TV and router, then update the app. A wired connection beats Wi-Fi for most TVs. Lower the load on your network by pausing other streams and downloads while you watch.
What does the something went wrong message mean?
It is a general playback error shown when the stream breaks. It often appears after ads or mid-show during busy times. Restarting the app fixes many cases, but a wave of reports means the fault sits with the service.
Does ITVX work on older smart TVs?
Not always. The app needs a supported TV or a streaming stick, and very old models can lose the app or miss new builds. If the app has vanished from your TV, a cheap streaming stick is the usual way back in.
Can I download shows to watch offline?
Yes, on the paid plan you can download many shows inside the mobile app. Downloads need space on the device and must be played inside the app. Each download has a set time to start and finish watching.
