The Number 1 Reason Your Freesat Box Won't Boot or has a "Boot Loop"

Humax Freesat Box Stuck on Logo?

OR Just keeps restarting?

This is a common problem with both Humax, Manhattan & Arris boxes

The reason we see this happen so often is very simple, and its not the box at fault.

It is often the satellite cable from your dish causing an issue with a short circuit of some sort, 

Its easy to test, just unplug your satellite coax from the box and try and boot, if it starts up without issue, you need to look at a repair to the cable and/or satellite LNB.

How to make a fix...

  1. Check your coax cables for damage / water ingress (damage to outer or cuts)
  2. Check the plugs and back of the box for burning (shorting) and that the F-Type plugs are on correctly
  3. Check the LNB for damage from the ground 
  4. Replace where needed
  5. You may also want to invest in a satellite tester: Like These

If you can not find a fault, you may need a professional to help if you still think the box is causing an issue, please use our repair services, if you think there is damage on the cable or dish, we suggest a CAI registered engineer
