Humax Freesat Remote Control

The Humax Freesat remote control is a consumer electronics accessory designed for use with Freesat-branded set-top boxes, which provide free-to-air satellite television in the United Kingdom. Humax, the hardware manufacturer, is a South Korean company that has established itself as a global leader in the gate-way and set-top box market since its founding in 1989.

While the brand Humax originates from South Korea, the manufacturing of its remote controls and electronic hardware primarily takes place in China and other specialized manufacturing hubs. The 'Freesat' branding on the device refers to the service platform, which is a joint venture between the BBC and ITV. Humax remains the ultimate owner of the brand hardware, headquartered in Seongnam, South Korea, and continues to be a key partner for digital television service providers worldwide.
