About this deal

During initial setup the Confirm Your PIN step has been updated to make it clearer you need to re-enter your PIN. You did not set the T2-R’s volume to max before programming your Manhattan remote to control your TV.

It was not possible to set an instant recording on a channel immediately after using an MHEG red button service on that channel. No streaming apps (such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix, etc’) – which means you have to get another streaming device for those. All the features of the sky+ box, such as pause and rewind live TV, record 2 channels at the same time, set timer for up to a week in advance via the TV guide, set a series link, get on-screen info at the press of a button, etc. Fixed an issue whereby seemingly randomly, channels would be removed during the Automatic Service Update in standby. They're all there, although I would argue that the sky remote and the sky+box are slightly more user friendly.I'm reasonably sure you can watch one recording whilst two others are taking place, but don't hold me to that.

If you connect the device to the internet, you’ll also get a few additional Freeview features and channels – the BBC’s red-button for example, or the “Box Nation” pay-tv channel. An excellent Freeview recording box with all the bells and whistles you could ask for (smart HD switching and recording, hard drive space management, a learning remote) – except for streaming apps. The remote is laid out clearly with reasonably sized buttons that have a reassuring feel to them when pressed. The initial setup was not completed correctly, he has no signal from his arial which works on his freeview TV, the box seems to be connected to the TV but no signal.

Followed the internet instructions and downloaded the updates as stated, plugged in - machine said there was no USB connected, took it out, machine said USB disconnected - what? Moved ‘Edit Protected Channels’ and ‘Show/Hide Protected Channels’ into their own ‘Protected Channels’ sub-menu of the Channels menu. On Interactive Services without audio/video, pressing Fast Forward/Rewind/Skip Forward/Skip Backward would exit the interactive service. Manhattan has since moved to the mainstream, and its latest contender is the T2-R – a lozenge-shaped Freeview HD PVR with 500GB of storage, dual tuners, and basic online functionality. What you are saying is change the input to TV and watch a program while the PVR is recording the other two that you have selected?
