The Benefits of Upgrading Your Freesat TV Box
More storage in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB models
When you upgrade your Freesat TV box, you can opt for more storage, meaning you can record and store more of your favourite telly without having to worry about running out of space. In fact, with the 2TB option you can store up to 1,000 hours of SD telly. Now that’s a lot of Strictly Come Dancing to work your way through.
Record up to 4 shows at once1
Going out tonight? No problem – simply record the programmes you’ve been looking forward to and they’ll be there waiting for you when you’re ready. In fact, you can record up to four shows at once, so while you’re settling in to watch a movie, your Freesat 4K TV Box will also be hard at work recording the other shows you liked the look of. You can even remote record shows via the Freesat app! Simply open the app up, select the show you want to record and it’ll be there waiting for you when you’re ready to watch.
4K Compatible2
If you're a fan of high-quality visuals, upgrading your Freesat box is a must. Newer models often come with support for 4K Ultra HD and HDR, which offer stunning picture quality and vibrant colours. You can enjoy a more immersive viewing experience, whether you're watching your favourite drama, sports, or documentaries.
Pause and Rewind Live TV3
Even if you’re watching live, there’s no need to wait for the ads to make yourself a cuppa. Pause live TV while you step away for a second, or rewind to watch that goal again...
Access to the Latest Features and Functionality
Upgrading your Freesat TV box also means you can access the latest features and functionality. This includes new software updates and bug fixes, which can improve the overall stability and security of your device. It never hurts to be up to date, right?
Improved Connectivity
Finally, upgrading your Freesat box can improve your connectivity options. Newer models come with advanced Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to connect to your home network more easily.
