If you're in the UK, it couldn't be easier to watch ITV live.

If you've got a TV, PC, mobile device or streaming device, you'll be able to get access to every live broadcast from ITV. On your TV, all you need to do is switch over to the correct channel. On PCs you can head over to the ITV Hub and start watching live TV. You can do the same on mobile devices, but the app is better optimised for touchscreens.

How to sign up: On your TV, you don't need to sign up or input any information. However, if you've never used ITV Hub before, you'll need to make a free account to watch on your PC or mobile.

All you need to submit is a date of birth, an email address, and a UK postcode (a random postcode can easily be found if, for any reason, you don't want to submit your own).

You'll be asked to verify your email address before you watch anything online.

From there, all you need to do is either click 'Watch Live' to watch ITV live, or pick something to stream on-demand.

Remember, though, while ITV is ad-supported and doesn't technically have a subscription price, anyone who uses the service to watch live TV is obliged to pay the UK's TV licence fee.
