The X Factor UK info on the first page confuses things a little bit. There are two shows: 'X Factor' and 'Xtra Factor'. The first is the main show (competition and results show) and the second is a companion show with interviews backstage and starts right after the main show has ended, duration one hour.
X Factor is on ITV1 and Xtra Factor is on ITV2 (the same division for rebroadcasts I believe).
I think the first list titled 'also airs on' should read 'airs on' and states the original live time and date in the UK for both of the above shows and mentions there are several rebroadcasts. That's the most important info - just use world clock for finding the equivalent time for your location.
The links are correct for watching live but watching on demand there's only one - and it's for the companion show. Here are both
official links for watching on demand ie after the live airing (requires an installed programme for locations outside the UK):
X Factor
www.itv.com/itvplayer/the-x-factor (should be added to the first page info)Xtra Factor
www.itv.com/itvplayer/the-xtra-factor*
Then for the scorned there are several possibilities. For live broadcast I've used the
Filmon links that worked well and had no added advertisements (I've got adblock but I think there are none even without it). However, from the tweets I understand that it doesn't work in the US - if it does work (and you can try beforehand) I recommend using this.

When I was replying to bamafan the other day (advising to click the ad away from the 'x' sign calmly and precisely, lol), I was talking about the link she quoted, a
blogspot site having live streams for many channels. These ones below you can also try beforehand (taking into account the time difference because there might be no broadcasting in the early hours or mornings).
This link was in her quote and works for me. It's for ITV1 and should show all content on the channel when it airs - and in this case the main show. You can see the text buttons 'stream 1', stream 2' etc just above the video and it's easy to change stream if the first stream doesn't work for some reason.
watchlivetvonlineshows.blogspot.fi/2013/12/Watch-ITV1-Live-Stream.html?m=1For the companion show on ITV2 I tried this on the same site (just changing the channel number in the link). It showed the channel name alright but did not work for me at the moment, perhaps there's no broadcast until later, but it could work for for you, so here it is:

The twitterverse claimed that the '
tvpc' links are the only ones working in the US and there are several listed on the first page. I didn't check those now but from my experience they are specific to a live programme or show and you cannot try it beforehand, also it's quite possible that the link that worked last week may change. I'm sure twitter will tell us more tomorrow and you can also read the chat feed on the site where working links are shared 'live'. Unfortunately, that site pushes a lot of ads and pop-ups, so you need to be careful.

A good time for trying the filmon and blogspot links (maybe even tvpc ones, IDK if they have different links for saturday) would be today when the contestants sing in the main show (two songs / each, one song voted by the audience and the other chosen normally, five contestants still in the competition).
Saturday Nov 29 LIVE in the UK
X Factor at 10 pm - 11.45 pm on ITV1 and Xtra Factor at 11.45 pm - 12.50 am
World clock for current time in London
www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/uk/londonWorld clock for X Factor start time saturday (hoping this is correct, it says '10 pm' or 22.00 which is ok but for some reason the clock pic shows 11 pm for London - the converted time in my time zone is correct - and so is the current time clock above)
