Freesat 4K TV Box (Non Recordable)

Our old Humax Freesat box was failing, so we researched new ones. Out of all of them, including refurbished versions of our old box, this looked best.It had really good reviews and was not too expensive. So I ordered it.Once set up (really very simple) the picture quality on freesat broadcast tv was noticeably better than before.But surprisingly the picture quality on YouTube, ITVX and Netflix is definitely better than on our Amazon FireStick (which I will be selling on ebay later this week as a result). A really impressive piece of kit.

Easy to set up happy with it

I bought this as I have no TV Ariel, but have a satellite dish, so I could have tv in my office. It is quiet, simple to set up. The remote is very directional, and I said in the headline, start up from sleep is very slow, as if the system is doing a total reboot. Not as many channels you can get free on a reconditioned sky box, and rather pricy for a not having a built in flash drive for recordings.

Use to have sky hd box ,but sky Tv became to expensive to keep up .so I decided to buy a Freesat box and I am glad I did. This freesat box works with my old dish 2 satellite cables go into box connect to internet and you have all the channels that I used to watch on sky Tv.

Easy set up and brilliant picture through the sky dish

The box is a good size , no problem to setup. The picture quality is very good upscale is good and 4k from bbc iplayer works fine.For me the only problem is a very useless clumsy changing channels and in the wrong position at the bottom. That's my only gripe.

We've just cancelled our Sky Q package and as our Ariel is poor I thought to try this Freesat and glad we did. It hooked straight up to the existing Sky dish that had Sky Q. Easy to set up, scan channels etc. Great picture. We do not currently have a 4k TV so I cannot comment on the 4k side of things. I like the on demand interface and the dedicated netflix button. I'd love to see an Amazon prime button as well.This box does not pause rewind live TV but when choosing a channel it often asks if I want to watch live or from the start.I would like my favourite channels to come up straight away when I press TV guide instead of then choosing favourite channels etc only there's so many of the same thing as in normal channel, HD channel, channel +1, channel +1 HD that the list is big when flicking through.Initially we had a few issues of the box freezing when using on demand. Had to turn it off and on again, happened a few times in as many days but this could be down to having a new broadband supplier as well.Over all pleased we got it. Saves lots of money a month. The Children haven't moaned about the loss of some channels so that's a relief in itself. As someone who watches the main 5 channels it's all good for me. My partner likes the sky channels so I got him a Now TV months pass which was free...but seeming as he moaned a bit initially he hasn't used the now TV box.Some people (my partner) didn't like the remote, saying it was cheap. I don't care. It does the job. The buttons are easy to see and easy to feel. The power is top centre on its own and TV guide is an easy button to find so my children can use it easily and I'm sure anyone with vision issues would find this remote easy to use also.I shall be looking out for the Freesat box that records when it comes out. Depending on the Price though.

Very easy to use, only problem. OK button is to small.
