ITV channel lost on AMAZON fire TV via FREELY

This is an issue that has been reported on several sites. ITV doesn’t seem to work from the EPG, but the ITVX app does work. This, when using a VPN.
There is another thread discussing this and a possible solution using SmartDNS. You don’t say which VPN provider you use, but if you use NordVPN then a SmartDNS subscription comes with it. Other VPN providers may do the same. Here’s where the discussion starts.
