How to Program Your Freesat Remote to Control Your TV

A compatible genuine Arris Freesat remote can be programmed for basic TV controls such as volume and power. You do not need to buy a new remote simply because its TV code has been lost.

Check your handset

This advice is for the compatible Arris UHD/Freesat genuine remote. Our budget third-party replacement operates the box but does not offer TV-control programming. Humax and Manhattan handsets have different instructions.

Use the model-specific setup procedure

Follow the official Freesat TV-control setup steps or your matching manual. Use the TV-code search or brand-specific method shown for the handset, then test volume and power before saving the setting.

When a replacement is useful

If the handset itself is lost, damaged or faulty after battery and setup checks, choose a replacement with the features you need. TV-control codes do not repair a defective remote.

Genuine and compatible Arris remotes differ

Match the remote to your Arris UHD box. The genuine remote supports TV-control setup; the budget compatible option may operate the box without TV-control functions. Try the relevant setup guide before replacing a working handset.
