How do I use your website?

One of the most innovative & unique features on the FreeTV.ie website is our video user manuals and guides. There is no other website of our type in Ireland or indeed the UK that has the range of instructional videos that we provide and for free for our customers convenience which enables them to carry out their own installations.

Anywhere you see any of the following;

Video Tabs

Just click on either the Video Guides Tab, Product Video Tab, Installation Tab etc and you will see all the videos related to that particular product. We know from our own experience that sometimes it's not always the easiest to follow instruction manuals but when you see someone carry out a particular task, it is much easier to follow.

The videos have been a great success. We broke the 40,000,000 views of our video guides during 2020. There was clearly a huge need for these online and the investment of time by the FreeTV.ie staff on this has been well worth it. The constant positive feedback we receive about the videos is staggering and in no small way has contributed to us being the leading website of our type in Ireland. See below for an example of one of our many video guides.
