Freesat, which was originally a joint venture between the BBC and ITV, was acquired by Digital UK (now Everyone TV) – the company that leads the development of Freeview – therefore Freesat and Freeview now operate under the same company. What I was actually doing/saying was to point out the difference in meaning between the words Freesat and Freeview for the benefit of the OP who apparently didn't appreciate the difference between sat and terrestrial broadcasts, let alone the various Trade names given to the broadcast 'systems'. Some people in regions that receive signals from multiple transmitters experienced issues with lost channels, duplicate channels or deleted channels being restored. We’ve worked closely with affected customers to resolve these issues.

Freesat is an EPG system brought in by a UK consortium to simplify free to air satellite reception. It is ONLY an EPG. It does not transmit programme material.There are even Freeview boxes that include a built-in Blu-Ray player. So yes, let’s face it, Blu-Ray (and physical media in general) is on its way out, making way for streaming media. But you still get excellent quality with Blu-Ray discs, and even more so with 4K Blu-ray players, and there are a lot of movie bargains out there. Another reason to buy a Freeview Box is if you want better features than the ones available on your TV. For example, some TVs don’t have the full Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)that can show you the Freeview TV guide for up to 8 days in advance. The T3 is lightning fast and truly feels like a modern device. Even the newest Smart TVs, as well as some new set-top boxes out there, often have a very sluggish interface. Not so with the T3.” Some boxes like the Foxsat-HDR can record FTA channels by pressing the record button to start a recording. The Custom firmware adds the capability to set manual recording timers.

You can’t beat a video review. As we mentioned earlier, one of the downsides to buying online is the inability to actually see and test the product. This is where videos can really help to bridge the gap and give you an almost just as good alternative.Of the 26 products in the Set top boxes category, 21 were more expensive than MANHATTAN T1 Freeview HD Set Top Box and 4 were cheaper.
