The TV landscape has been changing in recent years with the increase in streaming services and different types of TV packages to get ones head around, but Freely offers a new way to enjoy Freeview in a more streamlined and innovative fashion.

For those looking for a way to save money where they can, or for those simply looking for a new way to enjoy TV, then Freely could be the perfect product. But what is it and how does it work? Yahoo UK has the guide to everything you need to know.

What is Freely?
Freely is a new TV service which gives users the chance to stream live and on-demand TV all in one place and, like its name suggests, gives viewers access to all this for free. As well as the likes of BBC, ITV, and Channel 4, Freely also has new channels including QVC+, PBS America, and WATCH FREE UK available to watch, giving users hundreds of hours of TV available for users.

If you're watching live TV then you can also pause, restart and rewind shows at the click of a button, much like how Sky TV or Virgin Media customers can do — but for free. The service has also streamlined the TV browsing experience, helping users avoid app-hopping by having a simple and easy interface that viewers can look through quickly and easily.

This will allow users to access on demand shows from the likes of BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and other freeview channels without needing to go into and browse each individual app. It's an easy and practical solution that gives users a way to watch their favourite shows from all the big channels, and all of this is accessible in one place.


How does Freely work?
Freely can be installed without a dish, aerial or a box, all people will need is a Freely TV and a WiFi connection to gain access. The way that users join Freely is by buying a Freely TV, once a new user has purchased this then all they need to do is connect the TV to WiFi, and then they will be good to go.

The company works in collaboration of a number of TV manufacturers, with products ranging from premium OLED TVs to budget-friendly options. They work alongside Hisense, Panasonic, TCL and Toshiba, to provide the best TVs with Freely built in.


What can you access on Freely?
Freely gives users access to 70,000+ hours of free and on demand TV, with Freely putting shows and films into categories that are easy to understand and that highlight some of the hidden gems on freeview services like BBC iPlayer and ITVX.

For those wondering: 'but what if I want to watch something on Netflix?' You will be able to do that too on Freely as the service does give access to all the paid-for streaming content like Disney+, Prime Video and Netflix through their respective apps. This is not free through Freely, though, you will need to be a subscriber to the individual streaming services.
