“We have always suffered from a truly dreadful terrestrial TV signal so decided to try resurrecting the satellite dish that had remained unused since we had moved into our current home. Wow! what an amazing little device. Picture quality is excellent and the user interface is wonderfully intuitive. We can even make recordings of programmes that appear on iplayer to an old hard disc recorder that we have, so have managed to save series four of Peaky Blinders whilst we work through a box set of the first three series. And all for just £39 - brilliant! I would definitely recommend this.”

“This freesat STB is really good for the price, although refurbished there are no defects to the case, all the accessories were present and the picture quality is excellent. It is perfectly possible to timer record using an external USB device. It meets all my expectations.”

“I have no experience of installing freesat and I was amazed how easy it was to split an old *shotgun* twin wire installation and connect my new tv to one wire and my refurbed humax receiver to the other one. The reception is perfect on the humax box and it practically installs itself. Simple on screen instructions and in 5 minutes was connected to satellite and router via LAN ethernet connections. Great value and great performance.”

“Beautiful little Freesat tuner with a metal chassis. Smaller than it appears in the pictures on the Humax site. New look Freesat guide is easy to use. Very pleased all round.”

“Arrived on-time and set up was straightforward. Nice clear menus and easy to record with external USB hard drive. My TV has its own satellite tuner, but this Freesat box is much more convenient to use.”
