Freeview users will soon be able to experience a Sky viewing experience for free thanks to a new update launching. Sky has won many awards for its market-leading Q box but Freeview is fighting back with their upgrade.
The free-to-view service has just announced a blockbuster update to its online Explore Freeview Play streaming app which includes a new recommendations section and a dedicated area that's just for the very best box sets, making it easier for millions of homes to watch TV, reports The Express.
Freeview has said its new upgrade will make finding things to watch far more straightforward thanks to new search and recommendation tools.

These allow viewers easy access via a carousel of Freeview’s hand-picked recommendations from across its player line-up with Comedy, Drama, Soaps, Entertainment and Movies all served up without scrolling through endless menus. Users will also be able to curate their own watch lists via a new My Shows feature.
Along with new features, the Freeview update also brings a Sky-style look to TVs which features a dark background, and more prominent imagery to better showcase the content available. From the images supplied by the firm, see below, it certainly appears more visually appealing.
Speaking about the update, Owen Jenkinson from Freeview Play said: "We are continually evolving and adding new free features so we can provide excellent value to consumers. With the Women’s Euro and the Love Island final just days away, millions of us will soon be searching for our next TV obsession and these latest updates to Freeview Play will be on hand to help."
