Review: Free view recorder box - Small recorder, ideal works well, good picture quality, easy to use, easy remote, Review: Good for recording late shows - This little recorder is useful for recording shows that finish after our bedtime or when two shows we want to see are on at the same time. Not the highest quality recording but good enough, that’s to be expected at this price. Takes a bit of getting used to programming it.

Not the highest quality recording but good enough, that’s to be expected at this price. Takes a bit of getting used to programming it. Buy two more and I could record 6 programs at a time for a lot less than that greedy airline owning fella charges every month. ### ⭐ Disappointing, not easy to use. *by J***L on 8 May 2026* Not very easy to use or alter your recordings. It frequently misses the ends of programmes, not reliable. If it is recording you cannot set up other recordings or use its programme guide. Disappointing. You cannot reliably record a whole TV series on it unless that series keeps to exactly the same time every week, unlike the BT YouView I had previously, which was programme-related. Very basic. Would like to return it but it has taken me months to work out how to use it. ## Frequently Bought Together - 256GB SSD Freeview HD Set Top Receiver Box - August DVB502 - Twin Tuner Freeview HD TV Recorder with 7 Day EPG, HDMI Full HD 1080p, Timeshift Pause and Rewind - Subtitles and Audio Description Service - High Gain Freeview TV Aerial -August DTA240 - HD Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital HD Antenna for USB TV Tuner / DVB-T Television / DAB Radio / SD / 4K - With Magnetic Base [Black] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/639100381-august-dvb502-freeview-hd-set-top-receiver-box-with-256gb](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/639100381-august-dvb502-freeview-hd-set-top-receiver-box-with-256gb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
