iTV Player Kodi addon: How to watch iTV Hub on Kodi from anywhere

iTV channels carry some of the most popular U.K. TV shows, including Downton Abbey, Mr. Bean, Sherlock Holmes, Britain’s Got Talent, and more. But how can you watch iTV channels on Kodi? And how can you watch them if you are located outside the U.K.? This article will explain how to install and use the iTV Player Kodi addon and watch iTV channels from all over the world.

What is Kodi?

Kodi is an open-source software media player. It allows users to integrate all of their media sources into one piece of software, helping to eliminate the need for web browsers or multiple proprietary apps just to watch TV. Kodi can be installed on PC, Mac, Odroid, Android, Raspberry Pi, Amazon Fire Stick or Apple TV.

Warning: Kodi should only be used for content to which you have the legal right to access. Neither the Kodi Foundation nor Comparitech advocates the use of Kodi for piracy.

Always use a VPN when streaming video

Whenever you stream TV or movies online, you should always use a VPN to protect your privacy. Internet service providers often have algorithms that search for users who stream video. If they find out you are doing so, they may throttle your speed to save bandwidth on the network. This can lead to buffering, a very annoying problem that can ruin your enjoyment of online TV.

VPNs help to prevent this problem by encrypting your data in a private tunnel, keeping your online activities private.

VPNs also help to unlock content that you are blocked from based on your location. For example, if you are a U.K. resident traveling in France, a VPN can hide your location from streaming sites, allowing you to see U.K. TV shows that you would otherwise be blocked from seeing.

Not all VPNs are good for streaming video though. Many don’t have apps for TV devices like the Amazon Fire Stick, are too slow to stream HD video, or create new privacy risks by keeping logs of users’ behavior.

For these reasons, we recommend IPVanish for Kodi users. In our testing, it was fast enough to stream high-definition video without buffering. It has an app for Amazon Fire Stick and Nvidia Shield, and it has a strict “no logs” policy.

How to watch iTV channels on Kodi

iTV has a video streaming service called “iTV Hub” that allows viewers to see all of their channels live online. But normally, you would need a web browser to access this site. With the Kodi iTV Player addon, you can bypass this requirement and watch iTV using any Kodi-compatible device. iTV Player is in the Kodil repo. Here is how to install the iTV Player Kodi addon.

• • Open a browser and navigate to the github page for Kodil repo.
  • Click the file named Kodil.zip. Remember where you save this file
  • From within the main menu of Kodi, click addons
  • 
  • Select the “package installer” icon in the upper-left corner that looks like an open box
  • 
  • Choose install from zip file
  • 
  • Navigate to the folder where you saved kodil.zip. Click to install
  • 
  • Once Kodil repo is finished installing, select install from repository
  • 
  • Select www.Kodisrael.co.il Repository
  • 
  • Select video addons
  • 
  • Choose iTV
  • 
  • Choose install
  • 
  • 

Once you’ve got the addon installed, it’s simple to use. Click iTV from within the video addons menu of Kodi to bring up iTV’s main menu. The options are Shows, Categories, and Live.

Clicking Live will display a list of iTV channels. Click any of these channels to immediately start watching.

If you’d like to watch on-demand content instead of live TV, select Shows to get a list of all shows or Categories to browse content based on genre.

That’s all there is to installing and using iTV Player for Kodi. But what should you do if you aren’t located in the U.K.?

How to watch iTV Player from anywhere

If you try to use the iTV Kodi addon from outside of the U.K., you may get an error message like this one.

This can be avoided by connecting to a U.K. VPN server. The instructions for how to do this vary depending on which VPN you use. Here is how to connect to a U.K. server using IPVanish.

• • Open IPVanish to bring up the main menu
  • Click the servers tab on the left side of the screen
  • 
  • Scroll down the list of servers until you find one located in the U.K. I’ve personally found the Manchester server to be more reliable than the London one, but you should try them out and decide which one you think is the best
  • 
  • The first time you try to connect, you may receive a prompt asking you if you’re sure you want to switch servers. You may also receive a prompt telling you that you need to download a “tap” in order to connect. In either case, click “yes” or “OK” to continue. After a few seconds, you should be connected to the server.
  • 
  • Verify that you now have a U.K. IP address by using a site such as whatismyip.com
  • 
  • Click the video or channel you want to see. The channel should begin to play
  • 

That’s all there is to watching iTV on Kodi from anywhere.
