<\/p>\n

Just in time for the festive period, some Freeview users are being offered a content-packed upgrade. The boost comes courtesy of The GREAT! Network with this platform launching its very own video-on-demand service called the GREAT! Player. This update will allow users to tune into a swathe of shows and star-studded Hollywood movies whenever they like rather than waiting for things to appear via the daily planner.<\/p>\n

“With a selection of movies, fast-paced action films, love stories and nostalgic series, viewers can catch-up on missed content or dive into a catalogue featuring hundreds of hours of specially curated content from the popular GREAT! Network TV channels anytime they like, for free!,” GREAT! explained.<\/p>\n

Shows and films available at launch include A Rainy Day In New York, Only God Forgives, Logan Lucky and classic series M*A*S*H.<\/p>\n

As we mentioned earlier, this update doesn’t come via your aerial with content beamed to your screen via the web instead.<\/p>\n

Freeview introduce their new Play streaming service in 2021<\/h3>\n

That means to access the GREAT! Player you’ll need a TV or set-top that features the Freeview Play. If you have that already you should find this service becoming available in the next few days.<\/p>\n

What is Freeview Play?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those not aware, Freeview Play launched back in 2015 and is host to more than 70 standard and a selection of HD live channels.<\/p>\n

There are also 30 radio stations and 12 on-demand players as well including BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, UKTV Play and the latest addition of S4C Clic.<\/p>\n

Those accessing the service will find around 60,000 hours of on-demand content to watch along with over 1,250 box sets.<\/p>\n

Most modern smart TVs have the Freeview Play app and it’s also available via a number of set-top boxes.<\/p>\n
