3 ways to connect – 3 ways to cut your monthly bills
We all have so many subscriptions nowadays, and the costs add up. But the UK's public broadcasters believe their content should be available without a contract or monthly fee. With a small amount of kit (a rooftop aerial, a satellite dish or a broadband-connected box), you get all the great UK TV channels, for free.
All the Great British Broadcasters are included (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and more), so you get movies, drama and sports with no extra fees. Many systems also let you pause or rewind live TV, making it easy to catch up on anything you miss.
Great British telly from Great British broadcasters
Over the last two decades the UK’s public broadcasters have rolled out three main free TV platforms. In 2002 the BBC, ITV and others launched Freeview, bringing free digital TV into millions of homes via a rooftop aerial. In 2008 they added Freesat, giving free satellite TV to nearly everyone with a dish. And in 2024 they introduced Freely – live TV streamed over your broadband. Altogether, these platforms cover almost the entire country, so free TV is easy to find whether you have an aerial, a dish or Wi-Fi.
All together, these options mean fewer monthly bills, an easy setup and all the great telly you love. You can watch in any room and still catch the latest shows from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and the rest. In short, Freely, Freesat and Freeview give you great British telly without the fuss.
Freely is the UK’s newest free streaming TV service (launched in 2024). It delivers live channels from BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and more over your broadband (no aerial or dish needed). You get more than 60 live TV channels and 70,000+ hours of on-demand TV, all without any monthly fee.
Freesat is the UK’s free satellite TV service (launched in 2008). It uses your existing satellite dish to deliver over 100 channels (35+ in HD) at no subscription cost. It’s perfect if you can’t get a good aerial signal, or if you have a dish and want to ditch your monthly subscription.
Freeview is the UK’s free terrestrial TV service (launched in 2002). Using your rooftop aerial, it brings over 70 TV channels (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 etc.) to any TV. It’s an incredibly easy way to watch Great British telly with no monthly bills.
