It did sort its self out on the second rerun and all was well. The thing is there is not much choice as to the brands you can get in free sat that said now onto the box nice clear picture the navigation is ok best used with your internet. My big disappointment is there is no skip to get rid of the adds you can fast forward but it is pain trying to get it right. the remote is good but i feel that the OK button and the up and down left and right could have been thought out a bit better they seem to be sunk to much into the remote but that is my feeling only, other than that still happy to give 5 stars. I would like to add a bit more now that i have had this for 2 weeks now i find that you can skip the adds 1 min at time. I decided to pair the remote to the TV i lost the volume because of this i did get it back but at a reduced level In order to get past this i did a full factory reset ?? but this does not reset the remote that still controls the TV ! so now i have reduced volume because of this. A little unhappy now. 4Stars my be. I would like to add that the remote can be reset but you need to down load the full manual to do this still happy with the product. Review: Very good - Never purchased or owned a machine like this before, what i should say other than a sky Q box. I was surprised with the absolutely fantastic picture quality, how easy it was to set up and tune in (it's idiot proof thank God) follow the instructions on screen...BOOM JOB DONE. It's a little chunkier than a sky Q box, quality looks good, firm and strong, enter your postcode and all the available channels load and become available, features are similar to a sky Q box, functionality good, freeze resistance not sure, connecting just swap your Q box with your new one and it's like for like. I recorded 4 programs without an issue. Excellent value, excellent service, excellent delivery, excellent picture quality FOR ME......THE REMOTE CONTROL IS THE CORRECT SIZE (SIMILAR TO A SKY Q CONTROL) I UNDERSTAND ITS ONLY MY OPINION BUT ITS MORE OR LESS LIKE FOR LIKE WITH THE OTHER- ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE SIGNAL QUALITY AND PICTURE QUALITY WAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE LEVEL WITH THIS NEW BOX WITH IT CATCHING EVERYONE'S ATTENTION. ## Features - Never miss a thing: Record up to four programmes at the same time when connected to a wideband LNB satellite dish, and with 500GB of storage you can keep up to approximately 250 hours of SD entertainment. You can even restart live TV where available, so missing the start of a programme doesn’t mean missing out. - 100+ channels with no monthly fees: Entertainment at your fingertips with lots of amazing channels, over 20 in crystal-clear HD. - On Demand: Watch content, including 4K where available, from some of the most popular free and paid On Demand players including BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Netflix, Britbox & desertcart Prime Video. - Relive the best moments: Pause and rewind live TV so you can relive the plot twist, the important goal or just take time to make a cup of tea. - Simple to set-up: Works with your existing UK satellite dish so there is no need to replace your current one if this is in working order. Simply plug your cables into the back of the box and you’re all set. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B081H9FY6H | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,396 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 2 in Satellite Receivers | | Item model number | UHD-4X-500 | | Manufacturer | Arris | | Product Dimensions | 18 x 12.3 x 3.5 cm; 371 g | ## Images ![Freesat Recordable 4K TV Box 500GB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gZPa2LCYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this the 3rd generation box being sold or an older model** A: I believe these are new devices. We have owned previous versions as the years have rolled by, replacing as they have become 'defunct'. None have had long service lives but we live in hope, rather than expectation, that this one will be better. It is certainly much more user friendly. Good luck. **Q: can you get amazon prime video** A: As of December 2020, Amazon is now on the new freesat box. **Q: Question about satellite?** A: I use an existing Sky dish and existing Coax cable works perfect **Q: how can this box record 4 progs with only two cable inlets?** A: You would need a Wideband LNB (pick up at the end of dish) in order to record 4 channels at the same time. if you've had Sky Q then that dish will work. Older dishes will only allow two channels to be recorded. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FREESAT/ REMOTE/ VOLUME *by B***D on 6 March 2026* This is a neat product the set up was easy but i did get a scare when it said no signal i had just got a brand new dish set up.

Its predecessor - a Humax HDR 1100S 500 Gbyte model TV viewer/recorder gave me good trouble-free service for well over two years but packed up completely without much warning over the course of three days so I suddenly found myself in the market to get a replacement for it. Initially I was disposed to go with the same model of the same brand but I found out that prices for these were rocketing because Humax are no longer manufacturing them and have been taken over by another company - so let the buyer beware. Freesat as a company seem to have drawn a lot of flak and that did make me wary of spending good money on a box from them but having read all the reviews and taken note of the disparagers of this brand ultimately what made up my mind for me was the marks out of ten that this unit gets from people who have one. Over 8 categories most users awarded it sevens or eights! That bespeaks quality! When reading negative reviews you always have to figure out where the naysayer is coming from; are they being reasonably objective about the product or are they just being inveterately negative because that's just who they are as people? Believe me I was cagey about making this purchase but after 4 consecutive nights on the lap-top putting in my due diligence as a product researcher I was more encouraged to buy this product from this company than any other. Delivery was quick, setup - thank goodness - very straightforward and so far touch wood this unit hasn't given me any grief! It's been a wonderful experience. Startup is dramatically faster than my old Humax box, it has more vibrant colour and sound is better. My brother encouraged me to join the FreeSat community and exhorted me to get a box just like his - the Humax - saying that the TV guide and menu were award-winning but personally I was never blown away by the menu system on the old box which to me often felt unnecessarily complicated and this more modern box is definitely better in that regard. It's better aesthetically, the menu colours are more pleasing and thought has obviously gone into the placement of items both onscreen and on the remote control, and it's more pleasing functionally. The remote is a huge improvement on the old one. Okay I only paid £139 for my old box - which I bought as a reconditioned unit - and almost £200 for this new box but the Humax remote was made out of cheap shiny hard plastic and the buttons clicked when you pressed them. I realise that some people actually like their remote to do that but my aesthetic definitely prefers the softer matt and non-clickiness of the new remote. Well done Freesat! There is a prominent pink button on it labelled Home and when you press that you're taken to the main system menu onscreen from where you can select (top) TV Guide, Recordings, Reminders, On Demand, Search, Settings and Help. If you select On Demand then you're taken to a sub-menu where you can choose between 16 categories of programs only four of which are pay-as-you-go services. In my area - East Cornwall - there's 141 TV channels and 38 Radio stations. For me that's overkill. (Sky take note - nobody NEEDS 1000 Channels to choose from!) If I have just two small cavils to make about the remote control they are that unlike on my old Humax Remote hand-set there is no button that will advance a recording by exactly two minutes each time you press it - since I detest commercials that was a feature that I used to use a lot! - but instead you have to press the fast-forward button on the new remote 3 times to get it to scroll rapidly through the commercials and then be quick to hit play as soon as you see your program resuming. The other thing that I dislike is that the remote seems to have been designed for a woman's hand as my larger male fingers tend to hit two buttons when I only mean to press one! The remote is more triangular than the old Humax one which had a rectangular shape to it. You'll probably love it if you're female and have mixed feelings about it if you're a guy. The only oddity that I've noticed on this box is that sometimes when you went to view a channel you would get a weird message appearing onscreen to the effect that the medium isn't streaming; I troubleshot this and made the discovery that if you go into settings from the main system menu and have a look at the technical parameters of your set and box you may find that there is one setting which is initially set to 0. It doesn't look to be in operation at all. Just for the hell of it I tried incrementing this null value up to 40% and that appears to have done the trick! No more streaming error messages since. I can't say for certain but strongly suspect that many - perhaps not all - negative reviewers of the FreeSat company in general and this recording box in particular may well be people whose hardware isn't really up to giving them a pleasurable experience when using this company/box. One of the first things that the setup routine does is test the strength and quality of the satellite signal that your TV is getting. I got respectively 94% and 88% so you can reasonably conclude that my TV is getting a very decent signal from the satellite dish. For many of you that MAY NOT BE THE CASE. So consider these aspects and don't be too quick to bitch if things aren't immediately perfect for you! You could be trying to run this box on crappy not very supportive hardware! Personally I wouldn't hesitate to describe this FreeSat box as WONDERFUL based on my experience of using it so far. So, to finish off: When I was researching which box I should buy next I was almost sent to sleep by the number of 'reviews' that were so offhand that essentially they told the reader just about NOTHING about the box they were considering buying; so, some advice: if you're going to write a review then bloody well write one LIKE THIS that goes into chapter and verse and stop being lazy! ## Frequently Bought Together - Freesat Recordable 4K TV Box 500GB - Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (Newest gen), supports Wi-Fi 6, Dolby Vision/Atmos, HDR10+ - Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (Newest gen), supports Wi-Fi 6E, Ambient Experience --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/221456720-freesat-recordable-4k-tv-box-500gb](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/221456720-freesat-recordable-4k-tv-box-500gb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
