Customers Say
The Manhattan T4-R Freeview recorder offers easy setup, ample storage, dual recording with live viewing, good picture quality, and cost savings versus subscription services, but lacks Netflix and Prime apps.

Not much improvements
Issues with "No signal" despite the TV not reporting the same. Also issue with "updating info" when scanning for future programmes. In addition, slights delays in WiFi connectivity. Only improvement from the last version is the 2TB storage.

Manhattan tr4 bix
Very pleased with our Manhattan tr4 box
Glener, 65 or over
Excellent
Bought after old tv recorder gave up the ghost. This one is brilliant. More storage, better picture and easy interface. If you would like it to do something, and it’s not in the instructions, Google it and you find that it can do it!

Great features, easy to set up the box. Ideal
Record twice at the same time. Plus some channels have plus one. You can fast forward the adverts. Wow if you forgot to set up the recordings, you can always watch on catch up.
Jenwren, 45 - 54
Easy to use.
Really easy to set up. Connect all the relevant cables. Plug it in. Switch it on. Let it do the work. It checks for updates, then does a channel search. After that it is up and running.

New PVR
Bought this Manhattan PVR as leaving BT. So far the device works well. Took 20 mins or so to do it's latest software update and ROM refresh.
BT No More, 55 - 64
Good features.
Bought this a week ago, easy to set up, works wells so far, time will tell if it is robust.

Easy set up
Simple to connect, easy to use. Would never have considered purchasing but Sky increased my monthly payment by an enormous amount. The one off cost of the Manhattan T4•R was less than 4 monthly payments to Sky. As a shift worker this is ideal for me - never miss an episode of my favourite programmes.

Manhattan v H ?
Have given 5 stars for the product though there were problems getting a strong enough signal from our router and involved us buying a second "STRONG" booster £80 None of this had been required with our previous box beginning with H! Because of this it was necessary for use to use a specialist for installation and set up. Maybe some Moore techi geeks than u could have sorted but it wasn't that straightforward! Having said that, now it's INSTALLED, CONNECTED and all PAID, it appears to be working well. I see it says we can can record 2 programmes whilst watching a third; our previous H box allowed us to record 4! We are getting used to it, as I said 5* because there is nothing wrong with Manhattan it's just not H! Telephone helpline Very Poor.

have given this a 4 star rating due to only being able to record 2 programs if it had been more it would be a 5 star all the way

Hello Ak.

The Manhattan T4‑R remote uses radio/Bluetooth-style communication rather than infrared, allowing it to operate the recorder even when it’s inside a cupboard.

Hello Mandy,
I can advise the following for the Manhattan T4-R 2TB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder:
This is Freeview and not Freesat, you will need an Aerial connection.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hi Bill,
Thanks for your query about the Manhattan T4-R 2TB Freeview Play 4K TV Recorder.
The Manhattan T4-R 2TB box will need to be connected to a rooftop TV aerial signal to be able to tune in to the Freeview broadcast channels and to be able to record those broadcast channels. If Talking Pictures TV is a Freeview channel then you won't be able to get it without an aerial connection.
Any Catch Up and On Demand services can be accessed when the box is connected to the Internet. The Internet connection can be achieved using the Wi-Fi method of connection that the box supports. From the information we have available though, Talking Pictures TV does not have such Catch Up or On Demand services.
Thanks for using Q&A.
