With the rollout that Everyone TV is proposing, I can't see it succeeding long-term. Sure, buying a purpose-built Freely box or telly (with Freeview/Freesat as standard) sounds great... if this was 5-10 years ago. I think when people saw the idea of Freely, they expected it to be an app on an Apple TV, or a website on their computer.
Only reason I can think of as to why they haven't done this approach is DRM + the catch-up services already existing, which is dumb especially for channels that don't already stream online (if, but to name a few, That's TV, the GREAT! channels, E4 Extra, etc.)
