What My List actually stores
Freely describes My List as a dedicated rail on Browse for up to fifty saved programmes. Add a show from its information screen using Add to My List; remove it from the same programme information when you no longer want the shortcut. This organises discovery. It does not say the programme file has been downloaded or that a future broadcast has been reserved.
Keep a reminder separate from a saved favourite
Freely’s reminder FAQ says the platform does not currently set live-TV reminders, while individual player apps may have their own features. Saving a show in My List therefore should not be treated as an appointment alert. If your aim is to watch a particular live transmission, check the current schedule and use an explicitly supported reminder route rather than expecting the saved rail to interrupt another programme.
A device recorder is another layer
Freely’s recording guidance describes streaming and on-demand access, while noting that some televisions or devices have their own recording feature for terrestrial aerial channels. Such a recorder depends on the actual product and reception arrangement. A Freely shortcut does not configure it. Check the manufacturer’s manual and any recorder schedule if you require a saved broadcast rather than a link to a catalogue item.
Choose the action that matches the goal
For finding a programme again, My List is the relevant action. For a live appointment, identify a supported alert. For preserving a broadcast, verify an actual recorder or the available replay window. Keeping those goals separate avoids discovering later that a neat row of favourites contains navigation choices but no stored programme and no reminder you can rely on.

How many programmes can Freely My List hold?
The current help states up to fifty.
Does Add to My List schedule a recording?
No. It saves a shortcut; any recorder requires its own supported process.
