Manhattan T2-R 500 GB Freeview HD Recorder - Black

Product Information

At this price you don’t get luxuries like app control; use the electronic programme guide (EPG) to select channels for viewing or recording instead. This can also ‘remind’ you when a programme is due to start and supports series-linking. If there’s a schedule clash, you’re invited to set recordings on the offending channel individually as some showings might not be problematic.

Our learning remote has a spacious, clean layout and sleek, rounded shape that sits perfectly in your hand. And because it can control your TV’s volume, power and input selection, you won’t need another remote. The 500GB hard drive holds up to 300 hours of recordings, smartly organised into categories and series Record 2 programmes at once. Need to record more?

However, this behaviour caused difficulties for some customers due to a phenomenon called tropospheric propagation that can cause distant signals to be temporarily boosted and travel long distances. It happens more often at night and is very prevalent in coastal areas and at times of high pressure. An affected customer would typically find that in the morning their box had retuned to a weaker transmitter and suddenly some channels have poor or no signal. Programmes deleted and emptied from the Trash could not be re-recorded and any repeats were indicated as already recorded.HD channels are crisp and vibrant. It excavated detail from Bodyguard’s murkier scenes while visually complex props like computer displays are well-rendered. In comparison, standard-def channels are soft and pallid. With SD or HD, motion is smooth with no untoward judder provided the source material is up to it.
