An interesting article for anyone in the UK about the future of Freeview :-

Also some early information about Freely the service starting later this
year that is supposed to replace Freeview and Freesat :-

The confusing thing for me is this is obviously about the future of
linear TV but it's been hard not to notice all the TV stations are
pushing their own on demand services like crazy at the moment "Watch
live tonight at 9 or any time for free on our on demand service". So
what do they really want us to use Freely or their OD services? It would
be nice if Freely could support both linear and OD TV in an all in one
convenient app so we don't have to install and subscribe to many
different services for OD but I suspect that's unlikely to happen :(
