Box Contains remote control Review: Worked with no pairing - Was looking for a new handset for my elderly mum and wanted one with no set up or pairing. (Wasn’t even sure which freesat box she has but needn’t have worried). This was exactly that - took straight out of the packaging and it worked immediately. So pleased and she’s thrilled as her old one just wasn’t working properly. Review: Worked straight out of the box for Humax Freesat HDR 1100S - Order arrived very quickly, so pleased. It was for our old Humax Freesat HDR 1100S 500GB box - Setup was so easy - after inserting batteries it worked straight out of the box.
