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?

Re: Amazon Freevee on Virginmedia

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

I have an Amazon account, and have had one for years, but I have never seen any mention of Freevee before.

Re: Amazon Freevee on Virginmedia

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

Re: Amazon Freevee on Virginmedia

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.

It's got Bosch Legacy on there which is a great spin off from Bosch, what kind of crap do you watch?

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 -

Find
Home
Store
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.
