Once you’re ready to start watching again you simply hit the play button to continue the action.At launch, only a limited number of TVs had Freely pre-installed, but that list has now grown with manufacturers such as Hisense, Sharp, Philips, JVC and Panasonic all joining the party.Some set-top boxes - including the Pleio Puck - have also been recently released with Freely pre-installed.This brings the service to any old TVs dotted around the home.
