Channel 4’s streaming service carries catch-up and box sets from Channel 4, E4, More4 and Film4, plus live channels, on the web, phones, tablets, smart TVs and streaming sticks.

Go to channel4.com or download the Channel 4 app, then register for a free account. On a TV you link the account by scanning the QR code, visiting channel4.com/code, or signing in with your remote.

Channel 4’s own help pages state the service is free and you will never be asked to pay to download the app or create an account. Programmes carry adverts. Watching live TV as it is broadcast needs a TV licence; on-demand viewing of Channel 4 programmes does not.
