I wish I'd purchased it sooner!!
I purchased this approximately 6-7 weeks ago, but wish I got it sooner. I was buying it to replace a 'defunct' BT YouView box, as I'd read a review from someone who'd done the same thing; and I have to wholeheartedly agree with what they said. It was so easy to set-up, and is so easy to use. It has quite a few improved features to the BT Box, including being able to record 2 channels whilst watching a third (though this doesn't apply to all channels), and you can 'undelete' recordings if you've either deleted it in error, or simply changed your mind. I haven't found anything, so far, that I don't like about it.

Absolutely brilliant!
My previous Manhattan TV Recorder failed about six months ago and I didn't realize how much I relied on it until it was gone. This is the updated version and is absolutely brilliant. It has the same functions as the old one and so is very familiar to use but it has a couple of extras too.
RAMS, 45 - 54, Gloucestershire
A great buy!
A great buy! I missed being able to record, pause, and fast forward through adverts when my O2 contract ended, and buying my own Freeview box was a great idea.
Capatkin, 65 or over, Southport

One time payment for an excellent recorder
I bought this item December 11th. Setting up took less than 3 minutes. So easy to use, and has great features. I love recording and watch in a convenient time, so recording two channels while watching a third channel feature is great for me.
Aytek, 45 - 54, Barnsley, South Yorkshire
Great machine at fair price
Fantastic machine, just what we needed so we can rewind if we nod off! Thank you

Hello johnny h,
Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder.
The Manhattan T4-R Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder does not have a direct image quality adjustment feature. However, the recent software update has improved video quality across all content, which may enhance the viewing experience. Users have reported that the T4-R can produce a soft SD picture to mask some noise and jaggedness present in SD broadcasts, aiming to provide a smoother overall viewing experience. Some users have also noted that adjusting their TV's picture settings, such as sharpness or detail enhancement features, may help compensate for the softer SD output from the T4-R.
