Can I watch Live TV?

Yes, you can watch Freeview Live TV channels.

The Freeview Streaming TV app was developed for this specifically. It is just like watching broadcast TV, but the difference is that the broadcast is delivered over the internet, rather than over the air. You’re streaming those channels on Freeview, so you don’t need an aerial or a satellite dish.
