Are Freesat boxes being discontinued?
Freesat boxes are still available from Freesat Spares. Confusion often comes from a particular manufacturer ending an older model, or an app being withdrawn, rather than every satellite receiver becoming unusable.
Older model discontinued does not mean satellite TV ends
An existing receiver may continue to show satellite channels even after its connected apps stop working. Check the model and current support information before deciding to replace it.
What can you buy now?
Our range includes the Manhattan S4-R satellite recorder and the simpler Manhattan SX receiver. New, used and refurbished options have different features and warranties, so read the exact listing.
Repair or replace?
If your current box has a hardware fault, compare diagnosis and repair with a replacement. If your goal is a particular app, check that app on the proposed new box before buying. No retailer can guarantee that every channel or app will continue indefinitely.
Choosing a box today
Start with your signal source and whether you want to record. Freesat uses a satellite dish; Freeview uses a TV aerial; Freely streams over broadband. Check the exact model’s dish compatibility, apps and condition before ordering.
