Freely is the next generation of free TV, allowing you to watch live programmes from the UK’s main broadcasters over your internet connection, without needing an aerial.
While Freely offers a vast range of channels, not every channel available on the full legacy Freeview list is currently available to stream over the internet.
Why the full list is not available (for now):
Right now, you can already enjoy over 95% of the UK's most watched shows without needing an aerial. This includes all the main public service broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5).
However, not every channel is ready to stream just yet. Here are the main reasons why the full legacy Freeview list isn't available over the internet at this moment:
Waiting for Permission: Some channel owners do not yet have the necessary agreements or content rights that allow them to stream their programmes over the internet across the whole of the UK. They may have rights only for the traditional aerial broadcast.
The Big Switch: Every channel has to go through a large technical process to convert its service from an aerial broadcast (terrestrial signal) to an internet stream (IPTV). Some smaller channel providers are still completing this work to join the Freely platform.
