    I would have noted the skew on the old LNB before removing it. Then set the replacement LNB to the same Skew. You don't want to be climbing the ladder to set the skew when installed. Also it does make a difference if you are in the North of the England or Scotland.

      To reset your remote control to it's default set-up, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the red button (this is not the standby or record button) and AD buttons on your Freesat remote control for three seconds. 2. Then press and hold the Home button. The LED will blink once. 3. Finally press and hold the red button (this is not the standby or record button) for five seconds. The LED will blink five times to confirm the remote control has removed the existing TV code and reset to default set-up.

      @@FreesatSpares thank you for a promo response. It’s a brand new cable, dish, and the signal strength from the meter shows top of the scale, so really puzzled. It’s also a new tv, so the free sat is already installed. I’m thinking of changing the whole dish for zone 1 and if that don’t work, I’m up Sh” creek without a paddle,

    Thanks for reviewing the Manhattan t4-r .One thing that annoys me about all these machines is if I'm replaying a recording and I say press pause half the screen is blocked from view for a number of seconds. It would perhaps be good if you could check for this annoying design flaw when reviewing machines in the future. It would allow me to avoid certain machines. Thanks Thomas

    Thank you for posting this review. We have the Manhattan T3-R. A good enough recorder but it does have some little problems. For example when plugged into our new Sony A95L it tends to switch the TV on again after we’ve switched our TV off. We’ve tried switching off the HDMI control on the recorder but the problem is still there, is it still switching our TV on again after we’ve switched it off. The one other tiny thing we don’t like about the T3-R is that when it’s in standby, ie off, there’s a constant red light showing on the front of the box which we hate. What I’d like to know, does the new T4-R show the same red light when switched off? If not then we could be interested in upgrading to the T4-R. And any helpful tips to stop the recorder switching our TV on again after we’ve switched it off would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

      Hi. thanks for your comment, its not really about mark ups, its buying power, being just a small independent company, we can not get these boxes at the same prices as the big boys, such as argos or currys. But I think were we win is a great personal service to many of our very happy customers.

    Not sure I'd ever touch a Manhattan again. Every one I've had has slowed to a crawl, been massively lacking in basic features (seriously, no netflix, d+, youtube...not even a browser?!) and overall just seem to be made as cheap as possible. They're good as a very basic entrylevel device for someone very technically illiterate and who doesn't use anything other than basic terrestrial (which is fewer and further between given the awful quality of shows these days), but thats about it. Certainly wouldn't even put them in a mid-range category at this point.

      Given they delayed launch of this by a few months they should have released it with at least netflix and RUclips. I won't be buying this now, I'll stick with Freesat. One annoying part of Freesat is NO remote recording via the app. For some totally BIZARRE reason Freesat have removed this facility!!!!!

    First time I have ever seen a product review on RUclips from anyone, amateur or otherwise, where they could not wait 5 minutes to eat some food and munched their head off through half of the review. I'm actually astounded you would think that was even remotely acceptable, I'd personally be embarrassed and re-record the bits that I had ruined with my appetites need to feast...

      @@andyturner7963You will require a spare HDMI socket for this receiver. Outdoor aerial is recommended on Manhattan website although I am using portable aerial although live 5 miles from the nearest transmitting mast. Obviously reception while using a portable indoor aerial will vary depending on your own circumstances and distance from nearest transmitter site. I feel that these are fantastic devices and serve as a great alternative to ongoing expensive cable and satellite TV subscriptions. I now want to purchase one for my holiday caravan but will need to do some extra research to determining signal quality and if I will require an external aerial to be installed. Nonetheless it will hopefully be a great addition to my mobile holiday home if I can make it work in such a remote location. Edited to fix obvious autocorrect errors.
