Why do I need to sign in to separate players for the TV and Mobile App?

 

TV

Freeview Play and the Freeview mobile app link to the channels' own players to make sure you get the best viewing experience and range of viewing options.

We've made it as easy as possible to see what's available to watch across all the players. Once you've found something to watch you need to link to their content, which is why you have to be signed in to each individual player.

For more information on the individual players please see below.

APP

The Freeview mobile app links to the channels' own players to make sure you get the best viewing experience and range of viewing options.

The app makes it really easy to see what's available to watch across BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All 4, My5 and UKTV Play. Once you've found something to watch, you just need to link to the content – and this is why you need to be signed in to each individual player.

So make sure you have all the players' apps downloaded – you can find them listed in the My Freeview area of the app at any time.
