Replaced a older model surprised how much smaller it is hand set a bit sensitive at first easy to press the wrong button when setting up ok once you get used to it fortunately hand set from my old receiver work's with it as well apart from a description of the buttons on the handset the instruction manual very poor not a lot of information but having owned a previous model I knew how to use all the features a complete novice might struggle a bit receives a lot of channels which is great but can sometimes be a bit of a nuisance because if you say set something up to record on BBC the unit picks up a lot of regional BBC channels so you can end up recording the same program on more than one BBC channel so end up with two or three recordings of the same program and as yet not worked out if this feature can be stopped plus not a lot of information on the web all in all quite pleased with the unit picture quality better than the older model so looks good on my 4k TV and being able to record 4 channels has allowed me to do away with another hard drive recorder I had connected up having had both Sky and Virgin TV in the past as long as you have a satalight dish Freesat in a better set up all round as it's subscription free would highly recommend this product Steve YorkshireRead full review

Quite good, but some small failings compared to SkyQ. But these are off-set by the free service once the box is paid for, compared to Sky's monthly subscription. Menu system is a bit clunky and sometimes it takes two presses to get a menu item up. Most annoying thing is the graphic design of menu items. A selected menu item is white text on a very bright, light blue - a huge design gaff. making the text almost impossible to read! If I don't know what the selected item is or am unsure, I have to get out of my chair and walk over to the TV to get close enough to decipher the white text against the pale background. This is VERY annoying and could so simply have been avoided. Otherwise I am happy with FreeSat and this box.

Hi I bought this because EE tv was stopping I was hoping it would work the same but alas it doesn’t. It records many programs fine but I’m missing the watch something earlier feature as I often forget what time something is on and watch the afternoon programs at teatime. It works well.

It is more user-friendly than my previous box, simpler to use the handset to navigate the various functions. My only comment would be that the handset is a wee bit small so buttons are set close together and you can easily hit a button close to the one you want to use. The instruction leaflet is well presented, clear and easy to follow - very unusual these days! I am having a teething problem with recordings (it asks for a password when I try to view one recording but I don't have a password) but I've only had it a short while and will get my tecky person to have a look - it's probably something I am doing wrong! The volume is far more responsive and clearly defined than previous, and the sound quality (even though I'm using the same TV) seems better. All in all, I am happy with the box, thank youRead full review

Bought this box because where I live I get really bad digital aerial signal , because of trees etc. Didn't want to pay for Sky with bills out of my reach when you take into consideration the add on feature that you would want ie sport etc. So freesat is the answer for me.
