It must have the '4K' branding, so by definition will be reasonably recent.  HD models wont work, even though that's the maximum resolution of Freesat signal.

---

There are no Freesat signals there are are only DSat signals other than the Freesat epg stream🤔

In the past Freesat devices could receive the Astra UHD demo broadcast channel😉

---

No standalone Freesat receiver has been capable of displaying the Astra UHD demo channel - the older devices couldn't output UHD and the newer one (badged 4k) isnt' able to process the channel. 

Some TVs with Freesat support could display the channel.

---

Wrong ... they could at the very start of their release😉

They could never output it properly - the Arris box has always forced HDR mode..
