Then press MENU button on remote controller, choose ANTENNA SETTING.

The larger the dish the better because that should encompass the ability to capture satelite signal although UK receive Astra 2 . Motorised dish will utilise finding satelite easier through a blind search or manual search if you have transponder location. **Q: Does this box receive any Teletext broadcasts?** A: No mine doesnt **Q: Does it have catchup apps? can others be downloaded** A: It'snot a smart TV. It has limited EPG, good only for NOW and NEXT programs to record. I returned mine because of this, and because it has no way of selecting FAV stations. **Q: Will it work in Guernsey channel islands** A: I can't see why not. Anywhere why is access to a satellite dish. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic box! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 June 2026* For the price this is really good. I bought this to replace an Oakcastle unit I bought a few years ago. That one was totally non-user friendly and stopped doing anything at all for no reason. Dead!Had this one for a week and all is good. Yes, it’s very basic but just follow the instruction booklet and all is fine. I’ve saved channels from Astra 1 and Astra 2 and sorting out a favourites list that you can just call up is reasonably straight forward.I’ve seen comments about lack of sound and I did encounter that today preparing for the England WC debut. I chose an ITV HD channel that was silent but there are several ITV HD channels in the list (after you’ve set up whichever Astra satellites you want to use). Just had to try another couple until I found one with sound, then saved that one to favourites. All good!Rashford has just scored the 4th goal for England, and it’s all coming nicely through my dish!! Happy days. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little device *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 February 2025* We bought this to watch HD German satellite TV, as the main senders have stopped SD transmissions. Available programmes were quickly loaded, and while the instructions on deleting and sorting channels were very basic, once I worked out what to do, deleting and reordering channels was quite quick and easy. The picture is very good. We haven't tried the recording function.Two very minor drawbacks. The unit is very light, so can be difficult to keep where you want it, and the clock loses time quite quickly, though puts itself right once the set is turned on.Overall, a good unit at a excellent price. ### ⭐ Not great *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 August 2023* Not easy to use. Only gives the next programme on the menu. Too many channels the same. And most of them Irish. I don't know how to get my channels in the right order and the instruction leaflet is no help. Unless you are a professional techno mind don't bother with this. I give up and I'm buying a different one. This one is going in the bin.
