There are various third party ways you can do this

Many Kiwis have apps and systems not supported by Freeview that allows you to watch Freeview channels via internet.

Thanks. Is there no plan to offer a direct option from Freeview?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, we do stream those already, but cannot view Prime for example.

Yes Prime is unfortunately owned by Sky TV and they do not make On Demand and streaming easy to access if you are not a Sky subscriber.

It would be a nice idea for Freeview to make all Freeview channels available for streaming from the Freeview website. Are you listening out there Freeview?

Hi Kahu,

You can stream Prime LIVE free of charge at SkyGo.co.nz (there's also an app) all you need to do is sign up and you can view Prime ondemand content on there as well and also a select number of shows/news at primetv.co.nz . As James said that would be great and hopefully an all in one freeview app available on as many platforms as possible.
