Good item to ise
I bought this to replace my old one that had lost its hard drive. It’s good and clear the set up is easy and it gives me the recording and other facilities that are available without subscription I am well pleased.

Great upgrade!
I bought this to replace an aging Humax 1000s HD box that had seen better days. This box is a massive upgrade to 4k and it really shows on my 4k tv. Wish I had bought on sooner although Manhattan have only fairly recently been making the freesat version. Set up in about 15 minutes including taking out the old one. Very good quality and value for the money.

S4-R Manhatton Free Sat Box .500GB
My old free sat box had broken. The new Manhatton one is now in place and I can record or pause the tv if I want to make a cuppa. Getting used to the new handset.

Ok but…..
Easy purchase, didn’t realise the box doesn’t have any of the movie streaming services, just catch up, probably my fault for not reading the reviews. Easy to install and view.

Very User Friendly.
We have been using this Freesat t.v. recorder now for a few days and are delighted with it. It's even got a comprehensive book of words re. operation ! It's extremely user friendly, much better than the one we had previously.

Hello Billy,
I can advise the Manhattan S4-R 500GB Freesat 4K TV Recorder remote control will not work on Bluetooth.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Yes,works fine on my skyQ dish.
Hello Nel,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Manhattan S4-R 500GB Freesat 4K TV Recorder: ''The S4-R will work with a Sky Q dish without any issues. That said, to give a full answer on how many channels it can record simultaneously, we need to know which type of LNB is fitted to the Sky Q dish. If it's the Wideband type, the S4-R can record up to 4 channels simultaneously.''
Thank you for using Q and A.
Hello there.
The Manhattan S4-R Freesat 4K TV Recorder is designed to work effectively with the remote control even if the box is placed behind the TV in a media wall setup.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hello Daisy.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Manhattan S4-R 500GB Freesat 4K TV Recorder.
The main difference between the Manhattan T4‑R and S4‑R models is the type of TV signal they use: the S4‑R is designed for Freesat and connects to a satellite dish, while the T4‑R is designed for Freeview and connects to a standard TV aerial, with both offering similar 4K recording and smart features.
Thank you for using Q & A.
The T4-R is Freeview so it requires and connects to either a rooftop aerial or, in high quality reception areas, even an indoor aerial.
The S4-R is Freesat so it requires and connects to a satellite dish - the dish pointed towards pointing at the Astra 28.2E satellite. If you used to have Sky HD or Sky Q then its the same dish and the S4-R will work with both types of dish.
Yes. For this Freesat Receiver you do need a satellite dish pointed at Astra satellites at 28.2 East, an aerial will not do!
If you already have a dish in place that previously connected to a Sky HD box or a Sky Q box then this S4-R model will work perfectly. Note other models may not support Sky Q dishes, this one does.
Hello there.
The supplier has confirmed. The Manhattan S4-R 500GB Freesat 4K TV Recorder does not require a satellite dish. It can connect to existing Freesat or Sky satellite cables, allowing you to enjoy over 100 channels without needing a separate satellite dish.
Thank you for using Q&A
