It might be time to ditch your dish and move to streaming instead. It seems that broadband-powered tellies are the future, with them offering a simply set-up, constant free upgrades, and access to plenty of bonus features. Sky’s Glass gadgets still lead the way with them coming packed with upgrades such as an in-built soundbar, full access to live and on-demand channels, along with personalised recommendations and a way to record shows via Sky’s Playlists function.
Sky Glass prices start from £6 per month, although that price rises the minute you start adding content packs – these start from £15 extra per month.

For those not aware, Freely is actually owned by the same team behind Freeview. The main difference is that all content gets beamed to the screen via a web connection rather than an aerial.

Since its launch last year, Freely has been regularly updated with new features including a backwards TV guide along with extra channels.
It also offers the ability to pause and rewind live TV so you won’t miss your favourite shows if someone knocks on the door.
Other extras include recommendations for things to watch and a mini guide that shows what’s on now and next.
