When it comes to home entertainment, Samsung smart TVs are often at the top of the list, and it’s easy to understand why. Renowned for their exceptional picture quality, versatility, and user-friendly interface, Samsung TVs are a popular choice for many UK households. A standout feature is the built-in satellite receiver, especially when paired with Freesat, offering an abundance of entertainment options without the need for extra equipment.

Does Your Samsung TV Have Built-In Freesat?

Most modern Samsung smart TVs come equipped with a built-in satellite receiver, simplifying the process of accessing Freesat. This means you can enjoy your favorite channels without the added expense of a separate set-top box. Notable models like the Q80T QLED 4K UHD HDR 65-inch Smart TV and the Q80A QLED 4K HDR 55-inch Smart TV feature this convenient capability. To find out if your Samsung TV has a built-in Freesat receiver, check your TV model online or consult the user manual.

Setting Up Freesat on Your Samsung TV

If your Samsung TV lacks a built-in satellite receiver, don't worry! Connecting a satellite box is a straightforward process:

  1. Purchase a Satellite Box: If your TV doesn’t have a built-in receiver, acquire a compatible satellite box.

  2. Power Down: Turn off both your TV and satellite box before starting.

  3. Connect the Coaxial Cable: Attach one end of the coaxial cable to the Coaxial Cable Port on your satellite box and the other end to your satellite dish.

  4. HDMI Connection: Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI out port on the satellite box to the HDMI in port on your TV.

  5. Power On: After ensuring all connections are secure, power on both your TV and satellite box.

Tuning Your Samsung TV to Freesat

Once you’ve connected your satellite box or if you have a built-in satellite receiver, it’s time to tune your TV to Freesat:

  1. Press the Menu button on your Samsung Smart TV remote.

  2. Navigate to Broadcasting, then select Auto Tuning.

  3. Hit Start when prompted.

  4. In the Auto Tuning settings, set Aerial to Satellite and Channel Type to Digital & Analogue.

  5. Click Scan to begin scanning for channels.

And just like that, your Samsung Freesat TV is ready for action! You can now enjoy a diverse array of free-to-air channels.
