Freely is a hybrid system with some channels available exclusively via an aerial, others available as streamed DVB with some channels available via both methods. Freely has its own EPG with different channel numbers to Freeview. It's not a con but it is extremely confusing.

I wouldn’t have thought so. Most people just switch on the TV and select their channel from the EPG. They don’t care how they receive them.

They might do for sport, if streamed 'live' action is way behind freeview coverage.
