freesat

More of a warning than a question … My old Humax Freesat box just died - it, an AppleTV and an HDMI encoder were connected by x3 Powerline adapters to my home network. Everything worked fine with no problems and has done for the last 7 years. New Freesat 4k Recorder box delivered yesterday...

Hi, I have an old antient Sky+HD box that's missing some stations/channels that I get at work on Freesat and want a box that's recordable Freesat that can be every Freesat channels. What can I get for under £60 or around that price. Plus what can I do if I lost my Freesat card about 12 years...

Hi, I've spent the last few days doing lots of research as I'm looking to leave Sky Q and go down the Freesat route. Instead of buying a Freesat box, I'd like to use my existing NAS and Plex server with the DVR function to watch & record live TV. I've found a couple of solutions, but...

Last night everything was fine This morning, no signal on either Sat input, on any channels No strong wind or rain in Ealing, London no changes to the box, cables unchanged is it just me?

We have an apartment in the south west of France and for the last fifteen years we have successfully had Freesat from a satellite dish on our balcony. It is literally on the other side of the wall from the TV and encoder and so only a short cable is required. In April of this year we bought a...

Hi All, I've recently started having problems with Freesat. I have an old sky dish, although it's in decent condition. The lnb is about 2 years old as the previous occupant had sky Q, so I had it swapped for a sky mk4 lnb. All internal connections are sound up to my LG smart TV, with built in...

Good day all, I've been looking around for a replacement receiver since I will need to return the Sky Q receiver now that I've cancelled my subscription. I have decent knowledge of satellite stuff and I used to get the UK FTA channels over in Germany when I lived there using the built-in DVB-S2...

I've recently moved in to a house (rented) and realised it did not have an aerial, but a satellite dish. A twin cable labeled Sky comes into the area where our TV is. Doing a bit of reading it seemed like we needed to buy a Freesat box, so I did (Manhattan SX). When I went to set this us, I...

I have a problem with the intermittent loss of signal on my two receivers. We live in South West France. The setup I have is a 90cm generic dish, with a Vlaanderen DuoLNB with four outputs. Those outputs feed a Manhattan Freesat + recorder and a Freesat 4K recorder. The LNB is either Belgian or...

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue I have been experiencing (specifically with ITV channels) I was trying to add satellite channels to my media center but noticed a problem with ITV having Audio Description enabled by default with no way seemingly to force the english...

Hi, I've searched countless posts online about this but found no solution. I am on the verge of calling someone in to sort it but could do without the expense at this time.Basicaly I had a working freesat sky digibox (old thomson style) in the lounge,long story short the tv broke and when I got...

Hello, I would appreciate some help. I live in London and I can currently access TV through Freesat. A photo of the existing dish is shown below. I am interested in receiving Greek TV channels through Cosmote TV's satellite offering. Cosmote is the Greek equivalent of BT in the UK. I have...

Hi, I hope that my post is in the right section. We just done house extension with beautiful conservatory and I want to get some satellite receiver with my old 32 inch TV, so I can watch free UK channels in the extension. Any suggestions?

Hi all, Currently looking for a qualified electrician and Sat installer to do set up a 30W NOS with an 80cm dish for and a 28.2E FreeSat with a dish. The dishes need to be put on the roof (3 storey high detached building), cabling to go on the loft; we are in Caddington, just 2 miles down of...

Hello! I’ve recently moved into a rented flat with no ‘traditional’ digital aerial. Instead, poking from behind the bookcase are two cables which I think are satellite cables. (Photos included) First question - am I right? Secondly, why are there two of them? I’ve looked at some freesat boxes...

Hi, I have an LG 43UJ634V, which has an inbuilt FreeSat Tuner. I had a Satellite set up, that is pointed in the correct direction, as it was working for previous tenants, and I have checked the directions using DishPointer. The LNB (not sure if this is correct) goes from the satellite through...

Hi all I have two satellite receivers - a Technomate 7102 (which I use for European stations) on Astra 1, 2 and Hotbird (working fine) and a Panny BS 850 which my other half uses for Freesat. Last night, Freesat went down on some channels. A retune gave the no Astra 2 connection message. I...

HI. I have decided to cancel my SKY tv package and wondered if the old SKY+ HD box I have can still be used to receive Freesat/Freeview at all? Using the existing dish would mean I wouldn't have to install another TV aerial. Internet advice all seems to be years old, just wondered what the...

Hi I am thinking of replacing my Humax Foxsat Hdr for a Vu+ Duo 2 box but just a bit worried If It will be as good as my Humax box at fringe reception ? I would like to change to the Vu+ Duo 2 so I can combine all the paid tv I have from astra 19.2 & 23.5 with the freesat. Apparently this...
