Ideal buy.
I bought this to replace an “ee/BT” tv box, which I was only really using to record with. (When it worked properly which was intermittent.) I have been using the Manhattan box for around three weeks and it is works properly all the time. The only draw back is that it only records two channels simultaneously. A good value purchase.

An excellent PVR with great customer service.
After about 5 years good service, my Humax pvr gave up the ghost (my third - they all seem to last 5 years) so I needed a replacement. I'd seen very good reviews for the Manhattan and decided to give it a try, especially as my local Argos had it in stock. The first thing I noticed was how light it was compared to the Humax. This is because it has a more up to date and faster SSD instead of the HDD in the Humax. All of the connections are the same as my old machine, so were a straight swop, although you must use the Manhattan power unit. As soon as the power was on, it updated itself and scanned for tv and radio stations. I then signed in to the BBC i player, ITVX, My5, etc. It's really fast when updating the programme guide, which very clear, with lots of information and options. I did have a problem with watching My5 and recording channel 5, so, using the Manhattan website's help page, I explained the issue and a very full and easy to understand reply came back within an hour, which fixed the problem with an update. Brilliant service. Although the Manhattan only has 2 tuners as against the Humax's 3, it does have ITVX. It appears well made, was simple to set-up, easy to use, a 2 year warranty and has great customer service

Hello Harry,
The supplier has advised the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:
"A minimum of 3Mbps is recommended for internet video when using apps. Faster broadband may still be affected by usage from other devices, reducing the speed available for the T4•R."
