Which freeview channels are you referring to? If you receive anything via Freeview you need a licence (see
https://www.freeview.co.uk/help/do-i...watch-freeview). I can only assume you fall into the the category of "You don’t need a TV Licence if you never watch or record programmes as they’re being shown on TV, on any channel, or live on an online TV service, and you never download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand.This applies to any provider or device you use, including a TV, desktop computer, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, games console, digital box or Blu-ray/DVD/VHS recorder" as defined on the TV licencing website (
https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/faqs/FAQ99). If so, that's fine but a lot of people won't fall into that bracket.
