I think the site could be geo-locked? Not sure, but just in case, I have provided a VPN below.

An email and password is required for signing in so I have provided one below:

Spoiler: ITV hub login

Email: johnbenson@mailinator.com
Password: johnbenson

I have also provided a VPN in case it isn't possible to get access:
OkayFreedom download: https://file1.steganos.com/software/wrappers/chip0617/okayfreedomwr.exe

Spoiler: Serial key

4E4A-099D-11B2-8D04-6E00-4C4D-F43D-FE5188

Install, run the program it should appear in the notifications area, right click on the icon to interact with the menu, add the serial key and choose "British Identity" in countries.

Then you should be able to get access.

This is a big ask! So I thank all the staff and moderators on here in advance!

Tested, works to an extent (see below)...

 

[SpartacusSystem]

@Alex302 Sorry to be a pain, the rule works but it's quite intermittent. It'll let in one or two ads during playback...

Video plays on my end with the VPN you've provided. I didn't need a serial key to use it.

Added to English filter:

||tom.itv.com/itv/tserver/size=*/viewid=

Added to Spyware filter:

||pes.itv.com/*/post/

Please, check the result. Removed [Anti-Adblock] in the title because the issue is not about anti-adblock.

When I try accessing Live TV, ads still come up on there too...

I cleared cache... Tried again but this time I can't access the player controls?

 

[seanl]

This is how the player control UI is showing on my end. Play / pause buttons are functional on my end, could you please describe the problem in more detail?

Yes, I have the Play/Pause buttons but I don't have the progress bar as how yours is showing.



So I tried using Microsoft Edge and this time I have full access to the controls. Any reason as to why it ain't working in Chrome?

 

[SpartacusSystem]

Ads are still apparent, when "Live TV" is clicked:



Ad blocking works fine for "Shows".

Works, thank you very much!

@Alex302 Ads are back again!

If you need account details, my first post and VPN may be needed.

 

[SpartacusSystem]

@seanl Ads are back again, see above message. Thank you.

Could you please check this rule:

Could you please check this rule:

Plays, but cannot see anything on player and I don't have access to the player controls.

If you add these two rules:

They have adapted
Now get an OOPS! adblocking software detected"REFRESH" and then it plays adverts. Mobile app has also been compromised by this change about 3 days ago.

 

[Caferacer]

Caferacer, please have a look at the updated section rules before submitting a complaint about a missed ad or a false positive: https://forum.adguard.com/index.php?threads/27537/ — improperly created threads will be ignored or deleted!

That's too difficult for me.I am just an average user. If your blocking doesn't work I would have thought you wanted to know about it.
