The problem was almost sorted .. I still couldn't see the Fil on 4 from the start so I gave up. Perhaps the problem could have been with the Sky Internet service?

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with a 5-star review.

With the option to restart programmes directly from the TV guide, you can usually jump back to the beginning of shows, depending on availability and connection. If this is still not the case for you, we'd welcome the opportunity to take another look.

If you'd like to contact us via: https://www.freely.co.uk/help/faqs/contact-us and ask for The Reviews Team. We'll take a look at what's already been tried and do our best to find a solution for you.

Thanks again for your feedback!

The gentleman I spoke to was helpful and explained that they were working on freely at Hunshae Cross.
But I still don't have freely. Annoying and don't know when.

Thanks for taking the time to share feedback.

We’re glad to hear the update you received was helpful and clearly explained.

In some setups where an aerial is connected, certain channels may be received via that connection, and if there is work taking place on a local transmitter, this can temporarily affect availability. In these situations, viewing via your internet connection may help restore access to channels while transmitter work is ongoing. We can see that the work on the transmitter in question has been completed so you should be back up and running.

Can’t tune any channels and hasn’t worked for weeks. You can only watch via catch up. Catchup works fine btw and the WiFi signal is strong. Software all up to date. Hb a think before buying a telly with Freely I’d say.

Some channels off Friday & Sat

Some channels off Friday & Sat. 10th 11th April. Done this at least 4 times since I moved December. New telly from QVC with Freely TV. Not very happy missing programmes I like. Not good with new technology I am 74. No-one thinks about elderly people do this on line, can't. No-one to help us.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

We understand how important it is to be able to watch your favourite programmes, and we’d really like to help make things easier for you.

In some setups, where an aerial is connected, channels may be delivered through that connection, and if there’s work taking place on a local transmitter, this can affect availability for a short time. In these cases, switching to broadband-only viewing can often help restore channels.

Our team can talk you through things step by step in a way that works best for you. If you’re happy to do so, please give us a call or start a live chat with us via our contact page here: https://www.freely.co.uk/help/faqs/contact-us

A bit of a mixed bag

A bit of a mixed bag. Very good and fast TV guide linking to channel changes. Way better than Sky stream puck, which continually freezes and crashes. Fewer HD channels though and picture quality is not as good in general. Also the Freely Talking Pictures channel does not load at all on my Manhattan aero. Freely help and support are responsive but have been unable to find a cause or fix.

Bought a TV with Freely on it and for some reason it randomly losses all ITV channels. After going through the troubleshooting online, I used the online and was told that it was a connection issue (although all other channels were working). Clearly an issue their end that they don't want to admit to and I really would not recommend buying an TV that uses Freely
