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.
