dailyrecord.co.uk:

Millions of UK households continue to rely on Freeview for their entertainment needs, and it's easy to see why. Unlike Sky and Virgin Media, Freeview doesn't require monthly fees or long-term contracts.However, a new contender has emerged that could potentially dethrone Freeview.

Freely, which launched last spring, offers over 50 live channels and hours of on-demand content via a broadband connection, eliminating the need for an old-fashioned aerial.Much like Sky's smart Glass TV, Freely uses the internet instead of an over-the-air signal.

Interestingly, Freely is owned by the same team behind Freeview, making it an ideal choice for those who can't or don't want to install an aerial.Other features include the ability to pause live TV for up to 15 minutes, receive full content recommendations, and view what's currently airing and what's next via a main and mini TV guide.

All you need is a basic broadband connection to get started with this smart system. The only major drawback when switching to Freely is that you need a compatible TV, as standard screens can't be upgraded.
