Hi, I’ve just installed a Zone 2 dish and cannot get a program. Now I’ve gone for a zone 2 but I live in East Midlands, the reason for this is the old one started pixelating. I thought it would be better, but now not sure. Can you shed any light on the problem please. It’s an LGOled 65” brand new TV. Very strong signal strength from the Astra Satellite

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

Does the hard drive need formatting first or does the box do that itself?

We NOW have this Device back in stock! (June 13th 2024) - find it on our website www.freesatspares.co.uk

At the start you mentioned Netflix, the box does not appear to have Netflix, Prime TV, Disney Paramount plus etc? Why not?

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.

Crazy mark-ups on the RRP - the 500GB model is £30 cheaper elsewhere; the 1TB £60 cheaper; and the 2TB £70 cheaper! It'll be Richer Sounds for me, thank you very much.

Is it possible to use an Sky remote to control a Manhattan Freeview Box?

Most smart tv's have apps for Netflix/Amazon etc.... anyway

Were you really eating whilst making your video...very annoying...lots of info missing

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.

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...

Might be worth trying to receive it here in Denmark. I haven't watched TV for the last 15 years but have a dish stored in the garage. 😀

Shockingly bad review!!

Very disappointed with your review. I wanted to see the EPG for recording which is what I’m going to be using it for perhaps you could do another video.

It’s not offering any more over the previous version from what I can see. Thanks for the video though.

Surprised it doesn't have RUclips. The T3-R has RUclips.

I have a Technonmate box. It gives a beautiful picture.

You can not cross link the WIDEBAND and Legacy (Universial) Outputs, They work as pairs and have a different output methods

Hi at the moment i am running an old sd freest box in my back room. As you no this box does not sho me bbc1 or bbc2 because the box is sd not hd. Is this box full hd channels and will show the bbc channels? Thanks.

If my smart tv has a satellite connection in the back, do I need an additional box?

Hi, do you have any idea what fault my box has it’s a white Humax Freesat 1010s box an overnight it stopped working and just makes an intermittent buzzing clicking sound just like a hard disk drive sounds when in use but it’s not hdd because I’ve disconnected it an noise still persist but no power light an won’t power up. 🙏

Great video, extremely useful, definitely saved me time and money.

Hi, I’ve got a white 1010s which suddenly stopped working overnight, the power standby light no longer comes on and it makes a kind of noise the same as a HDD when in use so I unplugged everything and an connected power an noise starts again an it sounds like the noise is coming from CPU motherboard main chip under heat sink. Do you have any idea of fault and any possible repair or could it be caused by lack of power in faulty capacitor ?

Thanks for this video and info. Will use it when the time comes. 🙂

It worked 🎉 Thank you so much you saved me from buying a new HD remote 😊

I currently have sky q dish and works with free sat plugged directly in my TV but I wanted to get a box I wondered why this won't work with sky q dish is free sat and satellite works when connected the cable straight to TV?

My satellite dish is black with 2 cables only. Looks like its for sky Q can the dish be altered or will i need new dish???

Can i use my old sky dish with an old sky + hd box or a bush freesat box if i have had sky Q ?

Would the LNB as shown here be compatable to Direct Connect to my TV with Built in Freesat where the TV has a SINGLE cable connection? Currently if I connect our current Sky Q LNB It finds 128 channels when the scan is complete with descriptions and TV guide but no Picture signal. Thank you.

Hi I recently bought a SAMSUNG QE55Q80CATXXU 55" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR connected to the old sky dish to try get freesat channels but its scans nothing do i need to change lnb?

i have sky q dish , and i bought fresat 4k t box its not working what lnb do i need

Ok, I'll try and explain this briefly. For older systems, (sky HD etc) when you have 2 cables, it uses one to record and one for live viewing, or both for recording. With SkyQ (wide band) it uses 2 cables to collect all the channels across both cables which allows you to record more channels at once. If you Panasonic stuff, you can only use the older (universal) LNBs.

Cool. Having ditched Sky years ago, I’ve relied on my freesat OLED Panasonic. But having dug out my old Blu Ray recorder, I’ve borrowed one line for that. So does this mean I’m reducing the channel list, or the old LMB type picks up all? Ideally I’d have 4 cables. Presumably need a new LMB for that?!

You seem to of forgot to tell your audience that when the hdd is replace the hdd will need to be formatted and a software update performed

Hi what happens when you have two cables from your satellite,there is only one connection on Manhattan box

Hello, I’m having issues with dropped recordings on my 2tb Freesat system and would like to replace the hard drive to solve this problem. Would I be able to install a 2tb SSD instead of a traditional hard drive. Thanks
