what is freeview play

Freeview Play is a service that provides access to over 70 live TV channels, including HD channels, and on-demand content from popular players such as BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All 4, My5, and UKTV Play, all in one place and for free. It is available through Freeview Play TVs, recorders, and set-top boxes, as well as through the Freeview app on mobile or tablet devices. With Freeview Play, users can enjoy catch-up TV directly from the TV Guide, access on-demand content, and benefit from features such as search, recommendations, and help & alerts. The service requires an aerial for broadcast channels and an internet connection for streaming. Freeview Play aims to simplify the viewing experience by presenting live and on-demand content in one place, eliminating the need to navigate through separate catch-up apps. It is a popular choice for those who prefer not to subscribe to paid TV services or streaming platforms, offering a wide range of content without a monthly cost.
