Review: Top notch recording freeview set top box - My Freesat box gave up the ghost recently and I'd never really used Freeview so i thought i'd give this one a go as it was reasonably priced and had all the features I needed. What annoyed me with freesat was they lost the C4 HD channel, which is a bit rubbish when all the other main stream channels were available in HD (there was a work around for this, but it wasn't the best and you couldn't record it). This freeview option from Manhatten was very tempting because it was a lot cheaper than some of the freesat options out there. This is probably because there's no wifi or smart TV options with it, it just allows you to record tv programmes and pause them. Which is fine by me as my TV already has all the Smart TV apps etc, so i just needed this option so i wasn't needlessly duplicating things. Set up was a doddle and took a few minutes, Picture quality is excellent, as is the Programme Guide interface, it's really neat, responsive and does the job really well. You can easily set your favourite channels instead of scrolling through loads of channles you never watch. The remote is very neat as well and very easy to get used to and use, and you can program it with your TV remote which is a good feature. All in all, i'm really impressed with this little freeview recorder, comes with a 2 year warranty as well if you register (which was very easy to do by the way), glad i bought it. Review: Great and reliable technology! - A really worthy hd recorder made by a British manufacturer. Easy to set up and install. Picture and sound are of a good quality. A nice remote to control everything. The box or unit itself is neat and compact. Nice that Manhattan allow people to plug headphones into the back since many tvs simply don't have wired headphone sockets anymore. I like the TRASH feature for deleting programmes when you've finished watching them. After sending a recorded programme to the trash, you can choose to empty the trash, losing the program permanently, or if for some reason you want to view something again, you can reinstall it again. Program guide is smooth and fast when scrolling. The only problem I encountered which was easily solved was that sometimes there would be a slight stutter in the picture/sound when watching live or a recorded program. Manhattan asked me to tell them the signal strength for the affected channel. I had 100 percent for both signal strength and quality. Manhattan said the signal strength was too strong at 100 per cent and that would cause the aforementioned problems. Between 70 and 80 per cent signal strength and 100 percent signal quality is what works best on the freeview platform. I bought a cheap attenuator from desertcart which allows you to dial down the strength. Hey presto! Problem solved. Perfect picture and sound! Clifford Slug is happy! ## Features - You’ll always be entertained with 70 TV channels, 15 HD channels and 25+ radio stations from Freeview.

Don't misunderstand me - the T2-R version is a fine product - looks good, works well, easy to set up & etc., - but it lacks the added Smart TV functionality of the T3-R version, so there are no 'Catch Up TV' functions such as iPlayer & etc available with the T2-R. To my mind, the T3-R variant offers considerably better value for money even though it does cost more. But if you're not interested in using it for Smart TV features, then the T2-R should serve you well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manhattan T2-R 500 GB Freeview HD Recorder - Black - RELIAGINT TV Aerial Cable 3m – Pure Copper TV Coaxial Cable with Dual Shielding for Strong Signal – Straight or Right-Angle – Female-to-Female Adaptor Included – Fire-Resistant Aerial Connectors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/77587157-t2-r-500-gb-freeview-hd-recorder-black](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/77587157-t2-r-500-gb-freeview-hd-recorder-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
