Freeview play app

I found several links online that said that there is a Freeview play app available on Apple TV in the UK.

They are mistaken. Select TVs may have it built-in as smart app. Else get the Manhattan or Humax set-top box.

Products - Freeview

There is an app for iPhone and for iPad. No other Apple devices at this time.

Freeview app - App Store preview - Apple (UK)

Can you cite these sources?

Apologies, I got confused and was referring to freevee https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/splash/freevee_findus, which will not suit your purpose. That said, BBC is mostly free with their iPlayer app available on ATV. ITV and C4 have their own ATV players too but I’m guessing not free.

Really frustrating - bought Apple TV to get rid of Virgin tv box .. and now it seems the many reports of free view having an app for Apple TV … with an EPG That spans a couple of weeks and seamlessly links through to Iplayer etc

annoying you can get Freeview for phone & then cast the show to Apple TV - but that’s crackers !

“To use the Freeview app, you will need an Android phone or tablet running Android OS 4.4 KitKat and above or an iPhone or iPad running iOS 11 and above.”

I use TV Launcher and it works great. Emailed the developer about the app not syncing with other Apple devices and got a response within 24 hours where an update had been completed and the issue was resolved. As long as you have iplayer, ITVX, 4, 5 & UKTV it bridges the gap & gives you the TV guide you want. UKTV does take you to the live stream, it only opens the app, but a small consolation for such a great app.

The app is easy to customise and you can hide channels you do not have a subscription to.

Hi thanks millions this is exactly what I wanted. We're moving away from "linear" TV guides, but sometime sits very useful to have one that links to the apps. This on works pretty well and is worth using for the price of one copy of a TV magazine. I find you can look through the schedules and click on a prog you want to see, and it usually opens the correct app at the right place. Thank you.

It’s part of Amazon Prime Video.

Never mind.

Thx is that’s helpful . Not perfect but pretty good for those of us leaving to scheduled behind

thank you
