To stream ITV live to xbox in or outside of the uk it can be done
You need to download URL snooper for windows and use a UK proxy server. Once downloaded run URL snooper.
Set up Internet explorer on your PC with a UK proxy and go to the ITV site (firefox seems not to work too well)
good site to find UK proxy is
http://www.xroxy.com/proxy-country-GB.htm
select a channel from the ITV website eg ITV1 and use URL snooper to view the url when the broadcast starts. the actual stream of the URL is normally in MMS. When the program starts copy the URL from URL snooper
After copying the URL open notepad. Paste the URL in notepad and save it as an strm file. rememeber to save as type ALL FILES and NOT the default txt extension
FTP to your xbox and copy the file you have just saved from your PC to XBOX to any location you wish...however you need to remember where. I just created a streams folder
When done go to XBMC go to VIDEOS and add a source. Point the source to your streams folder and click OK to set the source to your streams folder where you should save the strm file
Go back to videos, open your streams folder or whatever folder you placed your stream in and open the strm file you saved the ITV stream in
Stream should then play
PLEASE NOTE the stream url may change from program to program so you would need to use URL snooper again from your PC and just copy and replace the mms in your stream file.
Hope this helps!
Thats it should work in and outside the UK!
