freeview on Apple TV
Hi, does anyone know if you can get a freeview app on Apple TV in the UK?
Apple TV HD, tvOS 14
The Freeview app for the UK Apple App Store is for iPhone and iPad only at this time.

I do not think that it is a matter of “allowing” by Apple, as probably the same app review applies to all Apple devices. But it does require the development of a separate version. If the third party app developers did make a tvOS version, and the contributing content providers agree with the distribution through this device, then I think the app would be available.
Subscriptions can be asked by the third party app developers, and they set the price, or make it free. Apple just takes a percentage for their trouble as store manager and fee collector.
Possibly the Freeview support staff can tell you if they are considering a tvOS app.
Or maybe they like selling their own set-top box.
Thanks! Don’t suppose you know why Apple won’t allow Freeview on AppleTV? Presumably because they can charge a subscription?
Thanks for your help and time.
