Now using mucho tv, 7 day backup, search, you can do monthly, quarterly (I do this at about 19 euros) or if you are bold enough to sign for a year it drops to 4 euros/month. Pay by credit card or paypal and they tell you when another payment has been taken automatically.
PC, android and I think ios.
PC needs edge chrome or firefox, player will not work on IE. Android download from playstore.
Google it, they give 1hr/day so you can try for free.
Not sure how good the new sports channel is as not into it.

There have been no further posts on this thread for about a year so it would good to get the latest updates on free TV streaming websites.

Kodi builds are dead again and Filmon keeps bugging you to subscribe so neither of them are viable.

What is the best/most reliable free TV streaming site right now? I can get ITV hub via VPN but would like to get the BBC also.

Can’t help you with free streaming websites, but I have had no problem watching BBC on a VPN (Express VPN) for quite a few months - I did have some problems about 4 months ago but since then it’s been perfect ( I hope I haven’t just jinxed it).

FirstoneTV.net is pretty good and free. Only live streams, no catch-up.

Great, that seems to work well ... for now!

I've used it as a back-up for the last couple of years. Never had a problem.
Make sure you register (it's free) and it will unblock some of the blocked channels.

Now that this one is dead, what are you guys using?

Only really want it to get some live news in the background, Sky/BBC News or something.

For Sky news I use Opera browser on Windows and its built-in vpn and https://news.sky.com/watch-live.

For BBC news I was using firstonetv. Now I'm just using UK TV & Radio app on Android.

I did use this site which gives BBC News amongst many other channels https://www.myexpattv.com/

But I actually have used TV MUCHO for the past year it has all the UK channels at the small cost of about 40 Euros - there is a monthly rate too. It is very good and saves so much hassle - Big Boy is also a happy user from what I have read!!

As in the title, pls only post free sites - I know there are a bunch you can pay for.

The Beeb seems to know I'm using a VPN so cant access it directly through that.

That works for Sky News, cheers.

The Beeb seems to know I'm using a VPN as it says 'not available in your location' though the IP address is a UK one. ITV news is for the under 50 IQ more interested in reality TV so don't bother with that.

What would be good is a list of free news and documentary channels for internet browsers (not phones) here.

Not quite sure where to post this, so feel free to move.

Just read elsewhere about a series of raids across Europe to take out illegal streaming platforms and their like.

Someone said they had lost access to Mucho TV.

TVMucho is legal. Maybe Mucho TV is something else entirely?
