Forget Sky! Get a Freeview TV for £139 with epic Black Friday deal

Anyone looking to invest in a new TV may have been tempted by a recent offer from Sky which is now giving customers the chance to buy its connected Glass telly at its lowest-ever price. With full access to a swathe of premium channels without the need for a dish plus a soundbar built-in, this is a very good gogglebox that makes tuning into shows, movies and sports totally hassle-free. However, although the price is now just £35 per month it’s worth noting that you do have to pay this fee over a number of years and that might just be enough to put some people off taking the plunge.

If that subscription fee sounds like too much for your bank balance to bear then don’t panic as there are some seriously good deals available on Freeview TVs with many starting for as little as £129 in the Black Friday sales.

All of the tellies on offer include full access to Freeview Play which features endless hours of entertainment via catch-up players such as BBC and ITV.

In fact, Freeview is now boasting that, along with live TV, there are over 40,000 hours of on-demand content on its service.

If you weren’t already aware, Freeview Play Launched in late 2015 and provides UK viewers with a combination of live, catch-up, and on-demand content all in one place for no monthly cost. Freeview boasts that having sold over 13 million devices since launch, it is now the UK’s fastest-growing TV platform.

Along with a Freeview Play-compatible TV, the only other thing you’ll need is a broadband connection. There are no additional fees to pay and you don’t have to sign up for any contracts.

If that sounds enticing, here are all the best Freeview Play TV deals including that TV for just £139.

Along with these low prices on Freeview-ready TVs there’s more good news for anyone thinking about upgrading their viewing experience.

Currys has announced that some lucky customers who buy a new TV during the Black Friday sale event will get it for free. This amazing incentive is available across a whole swathe of goggleboxes including popular screens from LG, Samsung and Sony. It’s not just budget TVs that can be bagged either with the £2,999 LD OLED and 85-inch Samsung QE85 with £3,000 available as part of the promotion.

What is Black Friday

Black Friday was started in the United States as a way for retailers to drum-up extra sales ahead of the holidays. The one-day sales event would see millions of people queue up outside high street shops to secure the best Black Friday deals, dubbed “doorbusters”. Held on the first Friday after the Thanksgiving celebrations, Black Friday is no longer confined to the shores of the United States – it has become a global phenomenon.
