Customers Say
The Manhattan T4-R Freeview recorder is easy to set up and use, offers good picture quality, reliable recording, and ample storage. Some users find the remote and interface less ergonomic and miss features like Netflix and advanced ad skipping.

Great features
replaced my BT set top box. Quite expensive but clear interface easy to set up and with clear easy to navigate graphics. Technology that works with you rather than against. Easy and quick to order through Argos. Does what it says on the box

New set top box
Replacing a Humax. Easy to set up and use.

Good value DVR in a diminishing market.
Replacing failing Humax. Easy to set up. Quiet and works quickly. Easy to navigate screens. In an ideal world the rempote control would be backlit but starightforward layout and easy to learn.
Plowst, 65 or over
All good, remote control could be better.
I bought this as a replacement for my old Humax Freeview box. It does everything I want and am very pleased with it. It is faster and the screen menus etc. seem more modern. The only thing is that I'm not keen on the remote. Feels cheap. The buttons all work ok but the shape doesn't sit in the hand comfortably. Rounded underneath but it has an awkward right angle round the edge of the button panel instead of being rounded too. It is uncomfortable constantly adjusting its position to press buttons and could do with being a bit larger overall with bigger buttons. More thought is needed for better ergonomic design and a natural feel at this price.

Very happy customer
Still finding my way around the menus but most of it is very intuitive (just different from my old box). Picture quality is excellent and on line players (it X etc) work without buffering. Recordings are as good as watching live and easy to set up. Very pleased so far.

Great
Good replacement for v old Humax

Manhattan is British!
I bought this to replace an ancient Humax which had served me very well. I was reluctant to change especially as I had saved recordings on the Humax. But necessity dictated differently. I researched before I bought and the Manhattan was definitely the one for me. It works very well and the recording quality is way above my old machine. It has all the required features plus options for how to store/list (alphabetically, by date recorded/genre etc). I had to unlearn the Humax way, which had become automatic, but this does the same and more. I had to connect it to my TV using a different port to my old machine and the TV didn't find it. It took me a while to work out how to do it (searching for new devices didn't work). In the end I did a factory reset for my TV (to remove any conflicting settings) and it synced immediately. So, it may help if you have someone to assist with set-up if you are not familiar with this (I believe Manhattan offer some tech support). I advise getting the largest memory size you can afford because they quickly fill up, especially if you record in HD.
