Fairly simple to use freeview Recoder box.
It’s a fair freeview recorder box. Simple to install and instruction on how to use for an older person. It’s about £80 cheaper than a humax recorder box. I’m not a lover of manhattan box’s.they have never been the best. As a Tv engineer speaking. But was the price motivated by the customer.

Easy to use PVR
Bought this machine 2 weeks ago. Very easy to use and remote gives instant action. BUT, broke down after one week. Phoned and eventually spoke to someone who took me thro how to format hard drive. Now it works again. Fingers crossed.

Good purchase.
I bought this to replace a "dead" Humax box - this item was chosen after reading it's specs and reviews. It pretty well set itself up and once I had got used to it's facilities I found it very easy to use. It should be added that their help desk is easy to contact and they are fairly quick to get back to you.

Great replacement for Humax
I replaced a very old Humax Youview box with the Manhattan Recorder. It was simple to connect up and very easy to use. Delighted with it and cheaper than we were expecting to pay. Wish we had done it sooner.

Great buy
I bought this to replace a Talktalk view box, saving me monthly subscriptions for the new box. It did all I wanted it to do, rewind live tv, stop, record. Excellent no issues with it. Expensive though

Hello Susie,
I can advise the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:
Apologies, while it will support red button services it won't support Teletext.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello atlas,
I can advise the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:
Freely is just an alternative to Freeview, allowing you to watch over the internet and not over an aerial. This allows recording, whereas, unless the TV supports it, freely doesn't allow.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello Phill,
I can advise the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:
You can only record from the live Freeview channels, you won't be able to record from an external connected device such as a fire stick connected to your TV as the recorder won't see it.
Thanks for using Q & A.

Hello B Bee,
I can advise the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:
Apologies, this isn't possible.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello,
The Manhattan T4-R needs a TV aerial for live Freeview channels and recording, but it requires a WiFi (or Ethernet) internet connection to access Freeview Play's catch-up services (like BBC iPlayer, ITVX) and on-demand content, plus software updates and programme images. You can use it without internet for basic live TV and recording, but you lose the "smart" features. It does not use a satellite dish; that's for Freesat.
Have a nice day!
