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

Product Information

This (rather fundamental, I have to say) feature will finally be available on the T4 and T4-R, so the search will finally be global – type in the name of a show, and you’ll see whether it’s available on any free-to-air channels, on your recordings, or on any of the streaming apps. This continued support ensures that the T3-R will remain functional and up-to-date for the foreseeable future. The Manhattan T4 and T4-R: What To Expect The service promises to provide millions of homes with easy access to live TV channels and on-demand content, all streamed directly to their Smart TVs (it’s still unknown whether Freely will support other streaming devices as an app). Some of BritBox’s content highlights, from the archives of the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, include 600+ episodes of the classic Doctor Whoas well as a long list of classic British series and films.

The Manhattan T4 and T4-R, two exciting new Freeview boxes, will launch in the UK this year – and we have an exclusive first look at these successors to the popular T3 and T3-R Freeview devices. The Manhattan T3-R is a powerhouse. It’s obviously got processing power to spare because it zips around the Freeview Play user interface – itself a thing of beautiful simplicity – with bristling ease. It’s a joy to use, which isn’t something we thought we’d be saying about a Freeview set-top box. To watch Freeview Play, you also need a compatible Smart TV or a set-top box, such as the Manhattan T3-R or the Netgem boxes.In fact, one of the main complaints I still hear about Sky Glass and Sky Stream– Sky’s broadband-based streaming devices, that already stream Freeview via the internet – is that they can’t directly record most channels.

Win: The HUMAX Aura comes with four built-in tuners, enabling you to record up to four channels simultaneously while watching a fifth live channel. This impressive feature ensures that you have the freedom to record multiple programs airing at the same time without any conflicts. You can easily keep up with your favourite shows and never miss any crucial moments. The service is expected to feature a modern and intuitive programme guide, along with innovative functionalities designed to make it easier for viewers to discover and explore new shows directly from live TV. The USB port is a bit of a disappointment, as it can only be used for software upgrades. And since software upgrades are easier to do via WiFI or Ethernet, the USB port is all but useless at this point- maybe we’ll get more out of it in the future. The usual features you might be used to on your Sky/BT/Virgin Media box – such as pausing live TV for up to two hours, initiating series links and making one-touch recordings – work like a breeze. The Aura features a user-friendly electronic program guide (EPG) that simplifies the process of browsing and scheduling recordings. With its intuitive interface and advanced search functionality, finding and manageing your favourite shows becomes effortless. Stay organized and never miss any must-watch content with the Aura's EPG.Initially slated for a July release, the launch was first pushed to August and has now been further delayed to mid-late September. October. Therefore, the T3 was discontinued a couple of years ago – and the T3-R has been recently discontinued as well. We’re told, however, that once the T4 series is released – support for the T3 series will continue, with some new features potentially coming from the T4-R to the T3-R as well. Manhattan’s Freeview History HDMI-CEC support: when you turn on your T3-R it can now turn on your TV and change it to the right input and go to standby when you put your TV in standby. You can also choose to put your TV and any other connected devices in standby when your T3-R goes to standby. Go to: Settings > System > HDMI Options. Next comes the Freeview part, and assuming you have an aerial connected, the T3-R will start scanning for Freeview channels (both TV and radio stations).
