Freeview channels on the internet

Tangled up in Blue · Feb 10, 2014

Just lost all of the BBC freeview channels on my satellite tv.

Been offered a basic price of 150 euros (plus 60 euros to install BBC iplayer and ITV player) for a freeview internetbservice directly on my HD tv or PC via an andriod app (I believe).

That sounds a reasonable price to me.Thoughts?

Haven't used it myself, but heard a few people talk about this website.

Difficult to comment as Freeview is obviously free in the UK.

No idea how terrible Spanish telly is (though I can guess) so it's a small price to pay to see The Great British Bake Off. :winking:

Lord above no! I've not got the artistic bent for that.

Used it for years and its been fine to watch TV on a PC, not good enough for a TV though.

Recently they seem to have lost channels, and many they retained are actually just links to the TV company's channel.
