Freesat is a service that brings Freeview channels to your TV via satellite, but now it’s branching out with its own devices. The Freesat UHD-4X 4K is a 1TB PVR capable of recording hundreds of hours of SD and HD content, as well as giving you access to a range of catch-up services to take advantage of its 4K capabilities. Should Freesat have stuck with software? Here’s our review
- Pros and cons
- What is it?
- What’s the picture and sound like?
- What’s it like to use?
- We thought the buttons on the remote were a bit too tightly packed and we hit the OK button accidentally on a few occasions. This makes navigating round the TV’s menus and EPG trickier than it needs to be.
- What else do I need to know?
- Should I buy it?
