Freeview play in its simplest is just the ability to select earlier on a channel showing on your EPG which has catch up service attached... i.e. BBC Iplayer. It normally shows the previous 7 days programmes in vertical columns.

The Catch up apps are also seperately available although are effectively the same thing and its just the manner on how you view the programmes availalble to you. Major difference is that freeview play only shows the last 7 days whereas going into the full app will normally allow you to search back over the last 28 days.

It should be noted that if you select a programme on Freeview play it will simply load the relevant catch up app to play that specific programme.



Having to retune the EPG regularly however is not normal.
