The Freely TV Guide is your main screen for all live, free-to-air channels, delivered over the internet. It combines the functionality of a traditional programme guide with modern streaming features.
Capability | What it means for you | Example |
Seamless Live Viewing | You can see what's on now, next, and later for all Freely and associated channels in one place. | You can scroll to check the schedule for next Tuesday evening on ITV2 or BBC Four. |
Pause and Restart Live TV | If you miss the start of a live programme, you can jump back to the beginning with a single button press. | You tune into the news 15 minutes late, but you can hit 'Restart' to watch the entire broadcast from the start. |
Integrated Catch-Up | The guide allows you to scroll backwards in time to see programmes from the last seven days, which you can instantly watch on-demand. | You scroll back to yesterday afternoon, select a show you missed on Channel 4, and it instantly loads in the Channel 4 app. |
Mini Guide | A small banner appears at the bottom of the screen when you change channels, giving you information about the current show and suggestions for what to watch next. | As you switch from BBC One to ITV, a pop-up shows the current programme name and the next show on the schedule. |
