Step 1. Download
You probably know this already as it's all standard Mac stuff, but here goes anyway... Click on the TV or Telephone Download button to transfer the DMG file, choose 'Save File' and select a location. Once the transfer is complete, double clik the .DMG file and accept the User Licence to proceed.
The application will then mount like a disk and all you have to do is drag it to your Applications folder to install.
Double-click on the icon to launch your Freewire TV or phone (or drag the app icon to your dock and a handy alias icon will automatically be created).
If you're using Freewire for the first time you'll need to register for a username and password, but don't worry it's really quick and easy (see step 2). If you’re a member already, just enter your Username and Password and you’re ready to go.
Step 2. Sign up (new users only)
If you’re using Freewire for the first time, you’ll need to complete our online sign up form.
You'll be done in minutes. All you'll to do is tell us some simple things like who and where you are.
You’ll need your Username and Password every time you log in to watch Freewire TV or use our phone services, so make sure it’s burned into your memory or keep it somewhere very safe!
