This review is specifically about the Aero box. Picture quality is really good hence 2 stars instead of 1. The rest of the product is poor though. The system is very buggy with frequent screen freezes... See more

Manhattan S4-R 2TB Freesat 4K TV recorder. The box is sold with a 15 day program recording menu. They didn't say its 7 day in front, 7 day in the past & the day you are on. That is not an EPG. The... See more

NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE!!!

The Manhattan T3-R Freeview Box is sold as an all sing and dancing box. No its is not in our experience. It has failed at 12 months old and despite being assured that it was registered via the phone by an agent they now say they have no record, how convenient!!! Denying you have registered this when you have been phoned up and you confirm on that call you have done so and then deny it, is in my mind despicable!! you know we have no way of proving it so you can suffer the consequnces of this review. All we get is an argumentative technical rep who tried to tell us Amazon should resolve this, Amazon say Manhattan should resolve this problem, mean while we have box fit for the bin. Thanks Manhattan!! Are you kidding me!!! Companies like this make me sick, take the money and RUN is that the philosophy?? To all readers be aware this is what you can expect from Manhattan!

the best pvr i have ever used

i have used other makes of pvr and found them to be very poor
tried the manhattan t3-r and have found it to be an excellent machine far superior to the other top pvrs that I have bought. I have not been able to fault this machine.
I even contacted them for some help setting up my other devices to all work together. again their support was excellent. cannot rate them highly enough
