Freeview Dongle for TV
Discussion
Hi - I have a 30 inch monitor that I've plugged a Firestick into in my spare room.
My mother-in-law, a frequent visitor, can't really navigate or understand the Firestick interface and would prefer a simple Sky Like interface instead.
I refuse to get Sky again but does such a Freeview streaming device exist that shows a decent but simple EPG with simple navigation?

I bought a Manhattan Freeview box from Argos for Euro 2024 for 60 quid. Quite slimline and minimalist design, nice modern interface.
Only thing is my signal wasn't good enough for HD football which was the only reason i bought it.
If you have an outdoor aerial or are prepared to play about with inside aerial boosters etc that might be a shout.

There is a streaming version of some Freeview channels (BBC, ITV & C4) called Freely but it's early days & seems to only available built in to new TVs from Hisense & some Panasonics:
