Manhattan T3-R Freeview Play 4K Smart Recorder 500GB

Product Information

We’re told by the boffins at Manhattan that they’re looking into enabling a third channel to be time-shifted simultaneously, and that the feature could come via a firmware update. Would have given it 5 Stars if volume button increased/decreased on a sliding scale as opposed to chunks, being either to loud or to quiet, can be fine tuned using original Samsung remote, but need to have both remotes at hand as one likes it louder and the other one likes it quieter! I looked at the the T3-R and did contact Manhattan about a future triple tuner option but they advised this was not in their planned product schedule. Only downside is as others reported that you have no idea if it's recording as the light on front just stays it's normal blue colour. Audio visual quality is top-notch, having the ability to stream in 4K from YouTube is welcome, and the Freeview Play interface is on the right side of leading-edge.

Enjoy all your favourite Freeview channels, seamlessly integrated with the convenience of on demand TV. The machine looks nice, states that it can record 2 channels, BUT YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO VIEW A THIRD.I was – and still am, a big fan of the T3-R, as it combines advanced recording features with excellent picture quality and a snappy interface (see my full Manhattan T3-R review).

Established in 2005, Chigwell Satellite is the UK's leading independent Sky HD, Humax and BT TV retailer, professional satellite installations and are proud suppliers and installers of Starlink technology. But we’re told that despite the delays so far, an update that will add ITVX support is expected in April.The 500GB hard drive holds up to 300 hours of recordings, smartly organised into categories and series. It’s particularly enticing if you want to upgrade your viewing experience but don’t feel the need to invest in a new TV (we can imagine it being partnered with long-serving plasma sets, which seemingly refuse to give up the ghost). Barclays will shut at least another 77 bank branches throughout 2024 and 2025 after announcing 20 more closures. Watching your recorded content is easy – you press the “Recordings” button on the remote, and jump to the dedicated screen, where you’ll see all the content you recorded.
