BBC,ITV,ch4 and ch5 move to new Freely streaming service on smart tvs,early next year.

They'll be available in streaming. They are not moving there,

Quite right Jim,loose use of language,always good to be corrected.

Excuse the ignorance, but will these be available in Ireland too? Or will a VPN be needed?

Very unlikely to be available on an Irish IP. I'd say the days of us (legally) receiving UK linear television are coming to an end.

Very misleading title, Terrestrial TV is not moving anywhere, in the UK or here in Ireland

And Freely will be geoblocked anyway

And of course, these services exist online anyway on the various platforms like the iPlayer, ITVX etc.

freeview play also exists on many uk sets, it’s probably tidying all that up into one user friendly platform.

Think it may also have downloads,and a few extras,but how to pay for it?

No shutdown till at least 2030. WRC23 meeting later this year might agree to extend the protection for whats left of the current bandwidth for terrestrial tv beyond this date.

Don't suppose Txs would be shut down, in the coming years to switch over to the net,if ever,but perhaps would result in savings.?
