Really easy to set up and use. Got it really to be able to record and pause whilst making tea or a cuppa and to fast forward all those pesky adverts as already have a smart tv with all the other programs but now everything is all in one small box. No problems with pictures. Only downside is as others reported that you have no idea if it's recording as the light on front just stays it's normal blue colour. Well worth the price!

I previously owned the non-recording version of this. I was pleased with the performance and usability but had to return it because it suddenly stopped seeing my wi-fi network. OK, early-life failures happen - I am willing to give Manhattan the benefit of the doubt on this. I bought the T3-R to replace it because I couldn't obtain the cheaper version quickly. I don't save programmes but find the ability to pause live transmissions useful. The casing is the same shape as the T3 but slightly larger, which may affect placement options, and the supplied mains lead could usefully be longer. Two other minor gripes: I had no trouble getting the remote of my T3 to control my TV but can't repeat the trick with this, and have yet to find a way of making the T3-R 'wake up' the TV when I switch in on. First world problems? In general, though, for what it does I have no complaints. Output quality is good and the remote works well, with large buttons. Let's hope this one keeps working.Read full review

Had this box up and running for a day now and can honestly say I wish I had changed sooner. Does everything my sky+ box does but doesn't cost me money every month. Catch-up is seamless and series link works just like I'm the sky box. Also had the YouTube app built in which is handy but not a game changer. What would be great would be the ability to have Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ on the box also then it would be full package for media playback also. Future update maybe.

Good quality product which was very easy to set up. Gives excellent picture quality and a very fast EPG. Can record 2 programs while watching a third is not really a problem. Access to all the catchup programs is very easy and you can add them to your watch list.

Replaced a 5 year old Samsung 32" tv with the latest model. Devastated, No timeslip on new Samsung so no pause and rewind, or record either as older model had (Shame on you Samsung, not expected to have newer model with less features than older models) The Manhattan fulfills all these functions and more, series link recording is a bonus, picture quality better than Samsung (Me Neither!) Small footprint main unit, chunky remote for big fingers and cloudy eyesight. Easy to program remote to replace Samsung remote Would have given it 5 Stars if volume button increased/decreased on a sliding scale as opposed to chunks, being either to loud or to quiet, can be fine tuned using original Samsung remote, but need to have both remotes at hand as one likes it louder and the other one likes it quieter! Excellent product, and was a refurbished model, a few cosmetic scratches but supplied with new remote, leads etc, albeit with instructions for a Humax recorder, no problem though as downloaded Manhattan T3-R instructions from the web. As good as my old Virgin Tivo box and a lot cheaper to run Only lacks Prime/Netflix but my Samsung can access this, so no issue. Read full review
