Freely UK TV
in France

Freely is the very latest British internet-based television platform — and it represents the future of free UK TV. Rather than relying on a satellite dish or a rooftop aerial, Freely streams all the major UK public channels directly over your broadband connection in full high definition. BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four, ITV, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, Channel 4, E4, More4, Channel 5, 5STAR, 5USA, CBBC, CBeebies, Sky News, GB News, Film4, Dave, Yesterday, Drama, Eden, Quest and more — over 70 live channels in total, all completely free of charge. There is no monthly subscription, no contract and no ongoing fees of any kind. Alongside live television, Freely provides access to over 75,000 hours of on-demand and Catch Up programming, including BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All4 and My5 — all integrated into a single, seamless programme guide.

What makes Freely particularly exciting is its approach to the future: new channels are added automatically over Wi-Fi as the platform expands — you never need to do anything to receive them. The service launched in 2024 and already boasts a growing catalogue of exclusive channels available nowhere else. The Freely programme guide also introduces genuinely useful features: Backwards TV lets you go back in time through the guide and watch programmes that have already aired without leaving the EPG, while Never Miss automatically saves every episode of your favourite series across all broadcasters simultaneously.

Freely is officially designed for use within the United Kingdom. When connected to a French internet provider, the receiver detects a non-UK address and restricts access to the full service. However, with a dedicated UK network adaptor — placed between your French internet box and the Freely receiver — the device receives a permanent UK address and operates exactly as it would in Britain. Every channel, every on-demand service, every feature works correctly. This is what we supply and configure for you, so that you receive a fully working Freely service in France from the first moment you switch it on.

Freely requires a stable broadband connection of at least 10 Mbps for smooth HD viewing. This threshold is comfortably met by virtually all standard French broadband services — whether fibre, ADSL, 4G, 5G or Starlink satellite broadband. As long as there is an internet connection, Freely works — making it one of the most flexible UK TV solutions available to British residents in France today.

The receiver is compatible with any French internet service provider — Orange, SFR, Bouygues, Free and Starlink. Because Freely is entirely free of monthly charges after the initial purchase, it represents outstanding long-term value: one purchase, a lifetime of free British television in France.
