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

Product Information

The obvious stand out difference would be that the Manhattan only records 2 programmes at once but apart from that i'm not sure what other differences there are?

Explore featured on demand programmes from across all of the apps, categorised into Comedy, Movies, Sport and more. The Aura is now Humax's flagship product which needs to succeed and they seem determined to ensure it does. I have changed a sound setting so now at least have audio but is there something I should be doing to get better sound?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). Packed full of the latest technology, the T3-R features Wi-Fi, a quad-core CPU for lightning-fast performance and support for Ultra HD and HDR (with supported apps compatible TVs). I felt our 5000T had had its day and Humax seemed to have abandoned the product from a development point of view. The two devices will be major upgrades over the previous models, in many ways – and we’ll be able to tell you more about them in the near future. On the back of the device, you have the power socket, Ethernet and USB ports, an HDMI port, an optical audio port (to connect directly to speakers/a soundbar), an aerial socket where you plug a coaxial TV aerial cable (from your indoor or outdoor antenna), and a loop-out port (so you can connect a second Freeview receiver if you want).

With the Aura things have been completely different, I am part of the beta testing programme and the way Humax have responded to and implemented improvements, suggestions and fixes has been brilliant. The Manhattan fulfills all these functions and more, series link recording is a bonus, picture quality better than Samsung (Me Neither!You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Enjoy all your favourite Freeview channels, seamlessly integrated with the convenience of on demand TV. I have had theT3-R for a couple of weeks and have been surprised I have not found it a problem even though I previously had the 3 tuner Humax 5000. Once you’ve let it scan and tune-in digital TV channels – 85 of them in total, including 15 in HD – attach it to your home network (using WiFi or the Ethernet LAN port on the rear) and you’ll instantly power up a slew of catch-up TV apps.
