				Amazon Freevee on Virginmedia
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I am coming to the end of a free month of Amazon Prime, including their TV streaming service. 
An advert popped-up yesterday for "Amazon Freevee", apparently freeview TV supported by ads.
 
Will I be able to access this using the Virgin V6 once the Prime trial ends?

			It's not Freeview but it should work as long as you have an Amazon account.....  Doesn't need to be the paid prime account

 Hence I didn't capitalise the "F".
 
I have an Amazon account, and have had one for years, but I have never seen any mention of Freevee before.

			Freevee has been around a couple of years although was called IMDBTV until last year.

			I find it shocking that you've never heard of it, if you used Prime video.

			Freevee is just an alternative to Pluto TV. Similar drivel as the FAST channels in the 220s on the epg. Utter rubbish.

 The trial lasted a month (expires today) and an advert for it just popped-up during a show that was "included with Prime". A complete surprise to me.

 There are on-demand films including old MGM films like The Big Lebowski and other new content like Judge Judy and Neighbours...so not identical to Pluto.

 No.  It's Free Ad-Supported  Streaming Television.  Niche channels that can't justify the cost of being broadcast.

 The menu on the left hand side of the screen lists -

Live TV 
Free with ads 
My stuff.
 
You will find freevee under 'Free with ads'

 Correct. These are the channels that are most likely to survive if the existing scheduled broadcast channels go IPTV only by 2035.
 
But they certainly are cheap and cheerful - some would say rubbish.
