I got a sneak peek of Freely, the UK’s free live TV service that’s set to launch ‘very soon’


The problem with watching TV nowadays is that there’s so much choice. Outside of the best streaming services, there’s a plethora of free ad-supported TV (FAST) channels to choose from as an alternative to digital TV, an area that is extremely crowded with various free live TV platforms and on-demand apps from a wide range of broadcasters. That means if you’re in the UK – and aren’t a, say, Sky TV customer – you’ve probably got several apps for catching up on your favorite programmes on BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 and My5. 

Thankfully, a new free live and on-demand TV service is about to launch that brings together all of the UK’s major live TV channels into one place. It’s called Freely and it was developed by leading broadcasters, including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, to amalgamate all their HD digital terrestrial television channels into one mega app that lets you browse via a TV menu as well as access on-demand playback all in one place – however, unlike Freeview, you won’t be able to rewind or fast forward.
