Freeview tv viewers have more free content to watch than ever before

If you've opted for Freeview in your living room instead of paying a monthly fee for the likes of Sky Q or Virgin Media, then you may have made a _very _wise choice. Not only is this

service completely subscription-free, but it's just been announced that those who tune in can now view more live and on-demand content than _ever_ before. In fact, Freeview Play, which

comes pre-installed on most modern Smart TVs and is available to watch via Amazon's hugely-popular Fire TV Stick devices, not only features 70 live channels but now boasts over 30,000

hours of on-demand telly gathered from streaming services such as iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and My5, to name a few. Freeview says it has boosted its live and streamed content by more than half

within the last two years. The update comes following the addition of new players, alongside the drive from British broadcasters to make even more on-demand TV available for all, with new

box sets, old favourites, brand new dramas and educational programming being added to the platform each day. Freeview Play, which first launched in 2015, is now available in 13 million homes

with over 9 million regular users – this makes it the fastest-growing TV platform in the UK. READ MORE: SKY CONFIRMS PRICE RISE FOR MILLIONS OF TV AND BROADBAND CUSTOMERS IN A MATTER OF
