Freeview Humax FVP-5000T 2TB Remote Control

To replace the remote for your Freeview Humax FVP-5000T 2TB set-top box, you can purchase either an original replacement remote or a compatible universal remote. This device uses a Infrared (IR) remote, so ensure any replacement is compatible with this type. Many universal remotes are designed to work with Freeview devices after proper programming.

2. Press and hold the pairing button on your new remote (usually located in the battery compartment or on the back)
3. Wait for the LED light on the remote to start flashing
4. When the remote is successfully paired, you'll see a confirmation message on your screen
5. Follow any additional on-screen instructions to complete the setup

Since this model uses a Infrared (IR) remote, the pairing process may have specific requirements. Consult your user manual for detailed instructions specific to this remote type.

Many modern TVs with HDMI-CEC functionality can control basic functions of your Freeview Humax FVP-5000T 2TB set-top box. If your TV supports HDMI-CEC (sometimes branded as Anynet+, BRAVIA Link, SimpLink, etc.), you may be able to use your TV remote for basic navigation, play/pause, and power controls.

For full functionality, especially for accessing all the features of your set-top box that require a Infrared (IR) remote, we recommend using the original remote or an appropriate replacement.
