Freely is the new free-to-view streaming platform from UK broadcasters. The Freely channel list will vary depending on your location and how you’ve connected your device.
Please select from one of the options below.

Freely channel list and numbers (internet + aerial)
Plug in an aerial cable and connect via ethernet or wi-fi to broadband internet.
The exact number of channels you’ll receive will still depend on location and your local Freeview coverage until more channels become available via streaming. So you may not be able to receive all of the channels listed below in your area.

Freely channels (Aerial only or if your internet connection goes down)
If you aren’t connected to the internet, your Freely device will act like a Freeview receiver and will offer you the channels that are available locally on Freeview instead.
Missing channels
Freely adds extra levels of complexity regarding which channels you can and can’t receive.
- If your internet/wi-fi is down, your Freely receiver will revert back to terrestrial reception (if your TV is plugged into an aerial). In this case, some channels will revert from being available in HD to SD.
- If you use a TV aerial, channels may be missing if your local transmitter doesn’t carry all channels and the channel isn’t available via streaming either. This will change in time as more commercial broadcasters join Freely’s streaming offer.
- You can check the Freely website for any changes from the broadcaster’s side.
