Setting Up Your Freesat Remote & Universal Remote

Programming Your Freesat Remote to Control Your TV

You can use your Freesat remote to turn your TV on/off and adjust the volume. To do this, the remote needs to identify your TV brand and match the correct signal code.

How to set it up:

  1. Switch on your Freesat box and TV.
  2. Turn the volume on your Freesat box up to maximum (you may want to lower your TV volume first).
  3. Press and hold the Red button (not standby or record) and the AD button together for three seconds, then release. The LED will stay lit.
  4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to scroll through TV signal codes. When your TV turns off, you’ve found the right one.
  5. Press OK to save the code.

Pairing a Universal Remote with Your Freesat 4K Box

If you’re using a universal remote, pairing it with your Freesat box is easy.
