Freesat, a free satellite TV service that has operated as a rival to Sky Q for 18 years, is expecting new set-top boxes this month, addressing a long-standing lack of updated hardware for the platform. Previously, on March 18, 2026, the company's 4K recording boxes, which had been the primary option for satellite TV fans since 2020, were discontinued, leading to depleted stock across major retailers. The Manhattan S4-R is anticipated as a replacement. This followed an incident on January 18, 2026, when Freesat viewers lost access to the TLC channel days after it became free-to-air on UK TV platforms, as Warner Bros Discovery had encrypted the signal of the newly revamped channel, preventing Freesat receivers from decoding it.
