So, what do you get with EE TV?

Multi-screen is among its features, which will let you pause, rewind or record live and recorded content on up to four devices at the same time – handy if your household has differing tastes.

The Replay feature lets you choose six of your favourite channels to record, which means you'll not miss anything from the previous day. Restart, meanwhile, starts the programme again.

And in addition to over 70 Freeview channels – 13 of which are in HD – there are a full range of services such as BBC iPlayer, Demand 5, YouTube and Wuaki.tv included as part of EE TV.
