Is this free?
Depending on how you watch most options are free.
Freevee is a free streaming service and is ad-supported so expect a few adverts to pop up while you are watching. These tend to be fairly short and not too intrusive or frequent.
Channel 10, TVNZ2 and RTE are all free to air channels.
In Australia, you will need a paid Amazon Prime subscription to watch any episodes on Amazon Prime Video if you choose to watch via this method instead of the free to air channels.
Do I need an account?
You do not need to have an Amazon account, however in some cases you may be asked to sign in to Amazon. The account is completely free. It may be advisable to create an account regardless, as this means you can add your favourite shows to your list and your watch history will be maintained.
Which devices support Freevee?
According to Freevee’s help page the following devices have Freevee available as an app (and are continuing to expand onto other devices):
Fire TV
Android TV
Apple TV

The Freevee app is also available on Android and iOS devices.
If I cannot install Freevee, how can I watch Neighbours?
