Goodmans GFSAT101SD Freesat SD DVBS Set Top Box with Energy Saving Trust Recommendation

Product Information

Over time the cables can start to perish, as this takes time to happen, it becomes almost invisible. But once the damage has become severe enough the dish will not function. Faulty Set Top Box Right now, it’s a great receiver, with excellent picture quality and a snappy, no-nonsense user interface focused on helping you find and watch your favourite programmes. It’s intuitive and easy to use, and even the remote control is up to scratch. Goodmans has also done a superb job with the remote, arranging the buttons in a sensible, uncluttered fashion and labelling each one with big obvious text – it’s just a shame they couldn’t have made it prettier to look at. Avoid the 500GB version – you will run short of recording space in no time – and go straight to at least the 1TB version, or the 2TB model if you can afford it. If you like to keep your favourite programmes stored for watching later, you will be glad of the extra capacity.

For Freeview you need a good quality 'ordinary' TV aerial, which can pull in the signal from your nearest TV transmitter - the nearer it is, the less complex is the aerial needed; the further the more elements and the more complex it will need to be. Your current aerial may not be adequate... If signal scores are low, this may suggest a dish alignment problem. If scores are good try tuning to a channel on a different frequency: I have had an issue with my HD box too. As it's out of warranty anyway I have taken the top off and it seems to be running ok. Freesat’s own-brand STB has everything going for it, including a nicely compact design, built-in Wi-Fi and an optical out. It’s also more future-proof than previous Freesat receivers, with 4K output, Dolby Atmos audio and support for 4K Freesat broadcasts should they roll out in the future. I've tried unplugging the box numerous times and have also done a "first install" numerous times, probably five times yesterday.

The problem is that Channel 4 HD is like watching slow motion, kind of like frames missing, and occasionally the same problem happens on ITV1 HD. Once you have a Freesat dish installed, you will need a Freesat box to tune into all its promised channels. Is Freesat cheap?

Beauty Advent calendars are significantly pricier than chocolate ones, but they've become increasingly popular in the last few years as a way of bagging beauty products at a fraction of the normal cost. They often sell out early, but can also be heavily discounted later if they don't, so here's a round-up of some of the best I’ve seen. They told me two days ago that I had to wait "several days" for a fix for this problem. I'm still waiting. You can still watch On Demand content if you have an Ethernet cable (not supplied) to connect your internet router directly to the box.

These boxes are amazing in their complexity, but they often have only a few programmed messages. Even though the “no signal” message is on the box, it could be the box is at fault. If you happen to have another set top box try connecting that one up and see if it works. If it does then it’s the new box not the satellite dish that’s at fault. Temporary Dish Obstructions As the name suggests, the only really big caveat here is that you won’t be able to record your shows or movies. Otherwise, it’s probably the best Freesat box at this price point, considering the quality!
