Freely Live TV Channels

Freely delivers over 100 live TV and radio channels through your broadband connection — no aerial or dish needed. All channels are free with no subscription.

The number and selection of channels continues to grow as Freely expands. Channels include BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5, and many more across entertainment, news, sport, and children’s programming.

You’ll also receive your local and regional BBC and ITV stations (such as BBC Look North or ITV Calendar), determined by the postcode you enter during setup.

Freely has over 35 HD channels – significantly more than the 9 or so available on Freeview. Most don’t have ​‘HD’ in the channel name, so it can look like fewer than expected are in HD, but they are. Because channels are delivered over broadband, picture quality is typically as good as or better than a traditional aerial signal. Freely doesn’t currently broadcast in 4K, but the Aero’s hardware is 4K-ready, so when 4K streams arrive on the platform, you won’t need new equipment.
