Samsung tv plus or Not Samsung Freeview Play

Our 12 year old Samsung tv has broken down. Looking into new ones - all Smart of course. Most tvs have something called Freeview Play. Samsung does not, but has TV Plus instead. Which is more worth having? Does this mean Samsung does not have BBC iplayer, etc? I wasn't aware of this when I went to John Lewis to select a tv and they weren't that helpful - didn't explain except to say Samsung had lots more channels. We have Freesat now, but if we move and have Freeview, I want to continue with our tv (obviously). Thanks!

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? We're looking for a new one and I'm baffled!

Just buy a fire stick and plug it in to the TV. Built in Tv apps are only supported for so long - about 4 years I reckon. I have a 10 year old TV that works absolutely fine off a fire stick. I can access iPlayer etc just fine.
