Freeview Streaming TV app for Apple TV

When will there be a Freeview Streaming TV app for Apple TV?

If you provided this app then I could get rid of my UHF aerial on my roof and have clean lines. Aerials, analogue and digital, have always been an unsightly grotesque to the roof lines of buildings all over the planet. Satellite dishes are only marginally better.

Both have only ever been a necessary evil. The government announced in December 2022 that they are firmly on track for ensuring 99.8 percent of the population has access to improved broadband by the end of 2023. (https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/govt-completes-delivery-ultra-f...)

So please release a Freeview Streaming TV app for all those external dongles and boxes like Apple TV!

Thanks and Cheers

I have heard back from Freeview via an email"

Hi Chas,

Thanks for getting back in touch.

I'm affraid at this stage we don't have any information on plans to have the Live TV Streaming app available on Apple TV.

Should this change or become available in the future it will be announced on our website and other platforms such as Facebook.

We will however pass on feedback regarding this.

Thanks,

Team Freeview

Bit poor really in this day and age. Reading the Freeview site, it appears they only have the skills to code this App for Android devices only.

Also our household does not have social media app's such as FB.

Oh well we shall see.

That's very disappointing. I would watch Freeview far more if it was available on Apple TV.
