We will be upgrading our TV in the next few months to a 4K Smart one. Just looking around at the many different ones (and prices) out there!

Brodie Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I recently bought a Freesat 4K box - not a good buy for me. On connecting picture quality was excellent but no Netflix. Had to reboot twice to get that. I like to use Teletext while having breakfast to get up to date with the news - the 4K box does not support teletext despite having a button on the remote. Changing channels, the new channel comes on with no sound then the screen goes blank before sound and vision come on. Channel info bar works on some channels, not others. Freesat support just say they are aware of problems and they may be sorted in the future with a software upgrade. I sent it back for a refund and may buy another when they finish developing the product. Humax seem to have stopped making Freesat recorders and support is now provided by Freesat - Humax no longer respond to email support questions.
