Improvement over the Arris, reliability unproven.
This purchase was to replace a Freesat 4K box ( Arris type) which had become unreliable when recording and quirky on replay. So far the S4-R is better in most respects. The remote works well with good button layout, but does not allow third party controllers such as the One-for-All type to be used as a substitute. Picture quality when upscaling to a 4K TV is as good as the Arris but no better. Scheduled recording searches mostly avoid the trap of picking up secondary channels showing the same content and causing duplication which was an increasing problem and recovery from temporary outages also seems better. The user interface usually achieves the desired action with fewer button presses and makes full use of the coloured teletext type buttons for this. Can't find any way to access the device via my network as yet but I may play with this and/or the USB interface at some point.

Great recordable Freesat box
I bought this a month ago to replace a Humax Freeview 1tb which had died. Easy to connect and the picture is far better than the Humax ever was. Highly recommended buy

pleased to have made the upgrade
This was to replace an aging recorder and it certainly has been a successful upgrade. Controls were obviously different but were easily understandable and quickly mastered.

Great Value for the price for a top quality item
I bought this item to replace a Sky HD +. Box as I have terminated my account with them due to absorbent price increases not once but now twice yearly . Found that the Manhattan S4 .R TV Recorder box did everything that I wanted plus many other features that are really useful and considering it will only take under 8 months of skys monthly payments to recoup my outlay, it’s a win win situation and found with all the extras it’s a perfect fit for all my requirements and I would fully recommend to anyone it . As it was also very easy to set up .

Great quality product
Such an easy box to set up. The quality of picture is stunning, far better than my current SKY Q, and it’s FREE to use! The guide is easy to use along with the recording facilities.

Good.
Recently purchased as my old one died. Installation good and no problems. My only disappointment is that it only records 2 while watching another. I thought by now it was upmarketed from my old one.

Hello Suey,
Yes, you can absolutely watch one channel while recording another on the Manhattan S4-R 1TB Freesat 4K TV Recorder, but this depends entirely on how many satellite cables are plugged into the back of your box.
Thank you for using Q&A.
