ITVX do you have to pay the premium price to view some programmes?

P.S. I watch a lot of Documentaries - just watched ‘ A Deadly American Marriage’

Netflix for £5.99 is worth every penny. I don’t mind the ads - it gives me time to make a cuppa

I can watch Malpractice without paying the fee.

LoveToPaint. Ive just watched them all and enjoyed them but no mention of money. It might have worth it though

I can mostly put up with the ads but that dreadful dramatic Cupra car advert drives me insane and I'm finger on the mute immediately. I noticed the ads came thick & fast during Fake mostly without warning so that we were unsure sometimes if it was just another scene in it, until we twigged it had cut to the adverts. You can definitely watch everything on itvx without going ad free.

Spot on DollyRocker- the really annoying Cupra car ad, and the maddening Domino Pizza ads get muted in our house.

I watch ITVX for free. Often especially with films there are adverts in something like the first quarter but then the programne progresses advert free.

We ‘found’ ITVx last year when we couldn’t find anything at all we wanted to watch. We soon found ourselves watching and enjoying a lot of programmes, but found the adverts always so frequent and repetitive that we decided to pay the £5.99 to watch everything advert free. Especially when Britbox was added.

ITVX is doing my head in (I use the free version). It keeps forgetting where I got to, which is annoying because I don't often watch an episode all in one go.

Fake is sort of ok, but Malpractice is better, and shows just what the NHS will do to avoid their name being besmirched ... more like a documentary really! Keep trying, they are just trying to get more money out of you.

On a similar note, Netflix is really doing my head in! I pay to not have ads, but still get them, then look to see something decent to watch, and half the time it is BBC and ITV series that I watched years ago! Grrr ....

Thank you MadeInYorkshire. I can’t understand why we couldn’t get it to play. Every time I clicked on the play option it rolled away and the pay for the premium came on. I tried on two days. Got Fake !

You do NOT have to pay for ITV X - I have just seen Malpractice - you do have to put up with adverts. If you don't want adverts, then the premium service is for you, but it certainly isn't necessary!

Since it changed to ITV X though, it's a terrible site, takes ages to even get it to play!

Ps Netflix with the occasional ad is cheaper than ITVX. Now that is worth it - £4.99 if I remember correctly.

I am watching both of these programmes without paying a subscription but do get the ads but I don't mind. I watch them via my Firestick

That is what I thought you could do. I don’t mind the ads and certainly don’t want to pay not to have them. Can’t understand why I couldn’t get Malpractice without a payment.

You can binge watch on ITVx. I don't subscribe, the adverts, although annoying, not worth the money to stop them.
Watched two episodes of Grace back to back, a lazy afternoon, 😂

You can watch on catchup without paying, but I think you can only see them an episode at a time, rather than watching them back to back, which you can do with a subscription.

I think it's worth it. We used to have Britbox, as I much prefer UK television to US, and the Britbox content is included in an ITVX subscription.

I much prefer bingeing to weekly episodes of a drama, so like that option, too. Also, you can download things to an iPad or similar to watch online. This is less of a boon than it used to be as now you can use your phone as a hotspot and stream from anywhere, but it's worth knowing about just in case.

I meant - I’d just Googled - it wasn’t a criticism. X

Thanks Georgesgran! That was lazy of me! Sorry.

Just Google. It’s £5.99 a month or £59.99 annually - premium.

How much is it to subscribe?

The point of paying for ITVX is that you can 'binge' series and watch without ads (unless you are watching live). You also get access to a lot of other content that is not available to non-subscribers.
