    No they don't, but there are Android Apps to watch live TV that can be downloaded from the Android store which you can do with an Android TV box:  https://techdator.net/best-free-live-tv-apps/

    But it's not the best solution if you don't want to faff around with Apps.  For now I would think OP needs to persevere with an aerial, or get a Freely compatible TV

    Quick update: despite what they say on their website, at the time of writing, Freely is NOT available on Amazon Fire sticks.

    Seems the Freely platform has not progressed much since the start of this thread (Dec 2024).

    There are a couple of boxes that have it, but they are more expensive than the fire stick (they cost about £70+), but they hard to come by.

    Why it has to be this difficult is a total mystery...
