TV Recorder
I bought this Manhattan S4-R so that I could continue to use my Freesat and record programs. Excellent product and very easy to connect and use. Only complaint is that it does not have the Netflix app uploaded.

A good fee free sky alternative
I'm very pleased with the picture quality, ease of set up, etc. It's only shortcoming is the lack of coverage for paid apps. For anyone who wants to ditch sky it is a good choice of freesat recorder

Nice and compact
Taking a bit of getting used to. Had a Humax freesat for about 20 years and completely different. The new Humax did not have good reviews.

Manhattan Freesat recorder, it’s a winner
I have only had this Manhattan Freesat box last week and I can recommend it thoroughly and loads better over my last one which was diabolical. Great picture, sound is good and works well on the timer. It would be great if Freesat would get some extra channels like Freeview has.

sharp looking newcomer
Just set the box up this week and it was pretty seamless, The pairing of the TV remote was better explained in the little video demonstration than the printed instructions. Just scan the barcode with your phone and it is much better explained. It seems to take about a day for the first recordings to organise themselves then there is a clear structure to the memory. Apart from this the box set itself up easily and provided high quality picture and sound. It would be nice to have an app to program the box away from home, but there is a two week channel guide already on screen.

Overall great!
All great. Far more intuitive and flexible compared with the old Humax boxes.

Sky replacement
I bought this to replace sky TV. I was fed up paying silly amounts for a few sky channels that I rarely watch so I cancelled sky after 11 years and got the Manhattan box after seeing some positive reviews. So far it's been great. Easy to set up and use , just swapped the sat cables from my old sky box. It will take a little getting used to but it's very similar to Sky Q. Id like the recordings menu to be a little easier to navigate as it's just a list compared to what was the sky version but it's a great device otherwise. I got the 1tb model so plenty of space for recording. Freeview channels are spot on with no picture or signal issues. Just need to tune the remote to control the TV as well as the box. Would recommend this for anyone looking to get rid of the subscription TV services.

Hello there,
The supplier has advised the following for the Manhattan S4-R 2TB Freesat 4K TV Recorder.
It will record current and future series, as long as all the available series shown in the Guide (EPG – Electronic Programme Guide) are configured and set for recording.
Thanks for using Q&A

Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Craig,
The supplier has advised the following for the Manhattan S4-R 1TB Freesat 4K TV Recorder:
If the current Sky Q installation uses an old EL010 or EL21A Sky Hybrid LNB, it requires a signal switching command from a Sky Q box to convert it to Wideband. This command is proprietary to Sky Q only and is not available in the S4-R, so the box will treat the signal as Universal. This means if two feeds are connected, you can record 2 channels, and if one feed is connected, you can record 1 channel.
If on the other hand, the LNB is a new Wideband (having two outputs namely Vertical & Horizontal), the S4-R will support recording 4 channels.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Bob,
The supplier has advised the following for the Manhattan S4-R 2TB Freesat 4K TV Recorder:
Two boxes can be used in separate rooms, but both must connect to the signal from the dish.
