isnt it just a freeview rebrand but updated format ??[information courtesy off lucid]
"It is the platform operator of Freeview and its satellite twin Freesat, and is owned by the country’s leading public service broadcasters."

Free television provider Digital UK to be rebranded as Everyone TV

The company said the new name aims to reflect its revised mandate, as well as ‘the vital importance of cherishing the universal nature of television’.

The blurb I read said that it was going to be more internet- rather than transmission-based.

I'm vaguely keeping an eye.

Likely the same bunch of useless Commitee specifiers that messed up You View and took forever and a year to launch.

Don't hold your breath for it.

I read, somewhere, that Hisense were to be one of the first to market with it...

Intended to be iPTV with live and catchup streams, for if/when traditional broadcast ends?

When they say free - I am assuming they are still streaming live TV, so you need a TV Licence.

Only if you watch it and tell them.

yes you off course do but hardly a ransom at about 45p a day for the pleasure off no adverts

Only the BBC though.

not worth it for beeb and iplayer. I would have stayed a loyal customer had they not sent me so many rude and threatening letters when I first moved in (and had no tv).

Only the BBC though.

it allows me to record all freeview channels and filter out the adverts-- if free view goes i am knackered as i dont do subscription adverts--pay for or finger selecting content just select record program--series and forget

Burn the BBC

I wouldn't go that far.

But I do think they need to cut the apron strings and start charging people who want it and blocking people who don't.

Just seen a Freely advert on TV.

Looks like things are moving.

They have an arrangement with Hisense who make Freely enabled sets.

They are called Everyone TV.

Backed by BBC, ITV, C4 and C5.

Don't seem connected to Freeview.

But I'm not ready to embrace it and certainly don't want to invest in a Hisense TV.
