How can I access Non-Freesat mode?

Non-Freesat mode lets you watch free-to-air satellite channels that aren’t part of Freesat’s official channel listings.

Important to know before switching:

When you switch to Non-Freesat (Manual) mode, you’ll lose access to Freesat features, including:

  • TV Guide
  • Recording and Time-Shift
  • Reminders and recommendations
  • On Demand services

This mode is not officially supported, and some features may not work as expected.

Returning to Freesat mode:

You can switch back at any time by selecting Back to Freesat from the Home menu.

After returning to Freesat mode, you’ll need to run a channel scan to restore your Freesat channel list
