Got a Samsung, LG, or Sony TV and wondering how to watch Freely? You’re not alone!
There's more than one way to get Freely
Freely comes built into a wide range of TVs from several leading manufacturers. However, it's not currently built into Samsung, LG or Sony TV sets. To get Freely on these models, you'll need one of our streaming devices. They're easy to use and still let you enjoy live and on-demand TV from the UK's top broadcasters, all for free. So read on to find out more!
If you’re considering upgrading your TV, you can also explore our latest selection of Freely TVs.
How our streaming devices work
Freely streaming devices connect to your TV via HDMI. Plug in, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’re ready to enjoy Freely. No dish, no aerial required.
Because Freely runs over Wi-Fi, you’re free to set up your TV – whether it’s Samsung, LG, Sony, or any other manufacturer - wherever it suits you. Living room, bedroom, or spare room. If there’s a plug socket and Wi-Fi, you’re good to go.
It’s also a great future-proof option. If you’re happy with your current TV, a streaming device lets you keep it while still enjoying everything Freely has to offer. No big upgrade needed.
Your streaming device options
If your TV lacks built-in Freely, two dedicated streaming devices are currently available to bring the platform straight to your screen.
- Netgem PLEIO: A 4K puck that integrates Freely alongside streaming apps and optional cloud gaming (subscription required for gaming)
- Manhattan Aero: A compact 4K box that combines Freely with popular apps, with TiVo OS built-in
Ready to start streaming?
If you’ve got a Samsung, LG, or Sony TV, a Freely streaming device is the quickest way to get watching. It’s a small add-on that opens up a whole new way to watch TV.
