Description
The August DVB502 makes it easy to record Freeview TV directly onto the box’s huge 256GB internal hard drive. This allows you to build a huge library of subscription-free content, but also you can use the Twin Tuner TV recorder function to watch and record simultaneously!
100+ Hours of Storage on the 256GB SSD Hard Drive
The August DVB502 comes equipped with a fast 256GB internal SSD, providing over 100 hours of recording time right out of the box. Easily rename, remove, and play your recordings directly on your TV.
For even more storage flexibility, the USB port allows you to add additional external drives. This means you start to build a massive collection of your favourite shows that you can access whenever you want. Simply plug in a specialised USB Stick for TV Recording whenever you want to save or backup programmes off the internal hard drive.
Quick and Easy Freeview Setup
Getting started with the August DVB502 is incredibly easy. Just connect your existing roof or digital portable TV aerial directly to the set top box, plug it into your TV, and quick scan for all available Freeview and Freeview HD channels in your area. Within minutes, you'll be ready to enjoy a range of digital TV and radio, completely free and with no subscription.
Record, Pause and Rewind Live TV
It’s simple and flexible to record your favourite Freeview shows direct to the August DVB502’s hard drive:
Instant Record: Hit the REC button to start recording a live show instantly, even if it's already started.
Twin Tuner Recording: Never miss a moment, even when shows clash! With its dual tuners, the DVB502 allows you to record two different Freeview channels at the same time.

Schedule Manager: Create custom recordings weeks or even months in advance by manually setting the channel, date, time, and duration – perfect if you’re going away on holiday.

The DVB502 is designed with accessibility in mind, offering subtitles in different languages, hard-of-hearing modes, and AD Audio Description options.

FAQ's & User Manual
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cancel scheduled recordings?
To cancel a scheduled recording, highlight the program in the EPG and press the red button to either flag it for recording or cancel it. Alternatively, press the blue button to access the Schedule, select the recording you want to edit, and change the “Timer Mode” to “Off” to remove the scheduled setting.
How do I change the channel while recording?
While recording, you cannot access the EPG or Schedule options. To change the channel, use the number pad to input the desired channel number directly. For better management of your recordings, it’s recommended to use the EPG or Schedule to arrange recordings in advance.
What is "SSD Storage"?
The DVB400 features an inbuilt Solid State Drive (SSD) for recordings, which is faster and more efficient than a standard Hard Disk Drive (HDD). This allows for hundreds of hours of recording without the bulk and weight of traditional hard drives.
How do I connect the DVB502 remote to my TV?
To pair the DVB502 remote with your TV, hold the “SET” button for 3 seconds until the red light stays on. Then, hold the Volume Down button on your TV remote while pointing both remotes at each other. Once paired, the “TV” section of the DVB502 remote will function like your original TV remote. For detailed instructions, please refer to the manual.
