Once the app launches, click on a title. You will be asked to sign in to ITVX. There are three ways to activate ITVX on Google TV.

- Using TV Remote: Enter the ITVX login credentials using the remote.
If the activation is complete, you can stream any ITVX content on your TV.
Sideload ITVX on Google TV using the Downloader for TV App
ITVX is only available in the UK, so if you reside outside this region, you can’t get the app from the Play Store. In such circumstances, you can consider sideloading the ITVX APK using the Downloader for TV app. Enable Downloader for TV on your TV settings to install unknown apps.
Run the Downloader for TV app, enter https://urlsrt.io/JgiSH in the address bar, and tap Download. It will take you to the APK download website. From there, you can get the latest APK. Later, install the APK on your Google TV. Run the ITVX app and sign in with login credentials to stream its content.
Cast or AirPlay ITVX to Google TV Using Android or iPhone
Wireless streaming is another way to watch ITVX on your Google TV. To do so, connect your Google TV to the same wireless network as your casting device. Run the ITVX app on your Android or iPhone and sign in with your account.
Play any movie or TV show in the app and hit the Cast icon. If your Google TV supports AirPlay, go to your iPhone’s Control Center and tap Screen Mirroring. Choose Google TV to mirror your phone screen to it.
Note: Remember that you can’t AirPlay to Chromecast with Google TV. If you have an AirPlay-compatible Google Smart TV, you can turn on AirPlay on Google TV. Then, you can mirror ITVX to it using an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
