Ease of use
This was purchased to replace my T3-R which, after 5 yesterday needed an upgrade. This unit does not disappoint and is noticeably quicker with a few updated tweets making it a worthwhile purchase and a joy to use.

Great and easy to use.
We replaced our old recorder which finally gave out after many years. The Manhattan was really easy to connect and practically set itself up, easy to use with clearly marked buttons. You can't go wrong. Great.
Claire, 55 - 64
Excellent for recording
Had one before they are excellent to record tv for u and watch later and got catchup. So simple to use and you are not paying for a tv package.

Great Manhattan Recorder
I bought this three weeks ago, to replace my aging Humax, and I am really impressed with how good and more up to date it is. Setting up was straightforward and recording programs so far has been very easy. Would recommend it.

Great Freeview recorder
Had this for a few weeks and I am very happy with it. Was easy to set up and is straight forward to operate. Find it useful that the remote can be programmed to operate some TV functions such as on/off, volume and input.
Dave, 65 or over
tv recorder
Bought to replace one that had failed, this one seems better than the older version, easy to set up except that if the tv is turned off the recorder will not record any preset programme, sloving this requires the hdmi setting to be altered, quite easy.

Hello Mc,
I can advise the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:
You will need to change the dish to support this box, and the box can connect over Wi-Fi or you can use a long ethernet cable.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello there.
The supplier has advised the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder
The Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder can be used alongside a Sky box. However, it is important to note that the T4-R does not support Freely, which is a streaming service that allows users to watch content on-demand without a subscription.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hello Gee,
I can advise the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:

Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello Sheila,
The supplier has advised the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder is W272mm x D197mm x H46mm.
Thank you for using Q and A.
Hello Spondonman.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder.
You may notice that the same TV channel can appear on different channel numbers when comparing your Freely TV and your Manhattan T4‑R recorder. This is normal.
Freely and Freeview each use their own channel numbering system, so the numbers don’t always match. When setting a recording, simply choose the correct channel as it appears on the T4‑R’s own channel list. The recorder will always use its own Freeview channel numbers, not the numbers displayed on your Freely TV.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello Norm,
The supplier has advised the following for the Manhattan T4-R 500GB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:
"Yes it is called the SWAP button"
Thank you for using Q&A.
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.
