Freeview TV without an Aerial ?

Jase · 23 Dec 2022 at 16:41

I don’t watch much live TV but I do like to watch at bit over Christmas. I have a freesat receiver but there's no satellite signal, guess something has moved in a storm. It’s been a while since I used it.

Just wondering if there is anyway of getting Freeview without a dish/aerial, ideally using internet? I tried to order Sky Stream yesterday but they couldn't get the box to me before Christmas

There are some channels which broadcast almost live via the net. If you have a console or Fire TV stick or Roku then you can run the ITVX app and select the Watch Live feature. Obviously this is only the ITV channels. Check out the other streaming apps.

We have the majority of channels available flvia apps on our TV. We barely watch live TV but that gets us what we need. Haven't had an aerial plugged in for years now.

Cheers, I've just downloaded few apps like BBC iplayer, All 4, ITV X, didn't realise so much was available via apps.

Yeh between those, Samsung+ or something like that, netflix, prime and Disney plus that's all we watch.

We watch so little live TV my daughter got to 8 before she saw an advert
