Currently SkyQ box but looking to get Freesat.
My Location
Essex, UK
I'm looking to get a Freesat recorder box when my Sky contract ends. My Sky box is in a cupboard behind my TV & the remote works via Bluetooth. From what I have read, the Freesat remote only works on InfraRed. I there anything I can buy for the Freesat box so that I can keep the box hidden?

Thanks
 
Hello and welcome to the forum
I am not aware of any such converter so I suspect the only solution (more of a workaround) would be to open the cupboard door or drill a hole

...or move your freesat box out of the cupboard!
 
I got a samsung tv & if I use the smart remote, it will control my Humax freesat box basic functions, I think it sends commands via the HDMI cable

Or, get one that works with HDMI-CEC like the post above. I can control my Enigma2 receivers using my TV remote - that may be an option worth looking at.

That's a Freeview receiver, not Freesat.

It's a shame Humax no longer make Freesat boxes, as they were far better in terms of quality and reliability than the current junk.
