Whenthe best new TVslaunch there can often be a lack of integrated catch-up apps specifically for the UK. That’s where this new free TV service, combining seamless streaming-based UK live TV and catch-up, could replace your costlySkyorEEsubscription.

Freely is its name, which is set to launch from “Q2” this year on a variety of new-launch TVs from Hisense, Toshiba, JVC and more, meaning a potential third of new UK tellies will have the new service baked in as its default interface.

Best of all Freely is, as the name clearly suggests, a free service. All you will need is to pay your TV License and to have a good internet connection – no need for an aerial or dish (which can be against new-build and rental contracts anyway these days).

Freely won’t be limited to just ‘the big five’ UK services either: “Freely is also working with UKTV to bring the broadcaster’s portfolio of free channels to the service … including Dave, Drama, Yesterday and W,” reads the company’s press release. What quality those can be expected in, however, is to be confirmed (here’s hoping for Full HD).
