How to Fix ITVX App (ITV Hub) Whoops What’s Gone Wrong Error

Streaming services are a dime-a-dozen these days, but you’ve always got new competitors throwing their hats into the ring to try and compete. One of these is ITVX, the UK’s latest streaming service, brought to you by British broadcasters ITV. It’s a replacement for the older ITV Hub, so as with any new program, it’s unfortunately rife with bugs, buffering issues and other errors.

Unfortunately, ITVX isn’t particularly good with presenting information on what exactly went wrong while using their application. Most of the time, you’re just given a rather unhelpful “Whoops, What’s Gone Wrong Here?” error message on your TV screen that’s simply not very useful for giving you information on the problem. It leads to a lot of frustration with the program, so what can you really do to fix it in the case you encounter it?
