How to Watch Coronation Street Abroad

Well this post might seem a little trivial but for my better half, it’s the first interesting thing I’ve posted in many years of blogging. The title says it all – ITV Player Abroad, or how to use an application to get British TV when you’re outside the UK.

Remember though to fully protect your connection you need to ensure the encrypt connection button is highlighted in Identity Cloaker, you don’t need to encrypt Coronation Street though!

What is a Valid Post Code for ITV

You do now need an account to watch the ITV hub, but it’s easy to set up. Currently it asks you your location and for a postal code, just make sure you says the UK and pick a valid UK postcode. You can pick anyone as long as it’s real. It’s easier to enable the VPN and use a UK server before you do this.
