Genuine Manhattan SX Freesat HD Remote Control

Product Information

The TV Guide now indicates in the info area when a programme is running late, starting late or has started early. Automatic trash removal now takes place in Standby. Previously this would take place after boot-up and could slow the system down if there was a lot to remove.

When retune events were signalled by the broadcasters you could be prompted to retune more frequently than necessary. When a major retune event (e.g. addition of a new multiplex) is signalled by the broadcasters, the T2-R will display a prompt to retune. This can be done straight away or postponed until convenient. Such retune events normally occur no more than once or twice a year. After discussion with Arqiva (who manage the UK’s broadcast infrastructure), we implemented improved behaviour on our latest T3-R model. This behaviour has now replaced the Automatic Service Update on the T2-R: Ensure your aerial is connected to your T2•R and an HDMI or AV cable is connected from your T1 to your TV.

How to Update

The previous 1.06 release effectively performed a retune each night (‘Automatic Service Update’) to ensure that the T2-R was tuned to the strongest transmitters. 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. Press the GUIDE button on your remote control. This displays the TV Guide, making it easy to tell when you find the right input. The instruction text in the Channels Editor (e.g. used for editing Favourites) could incorrectly say ‘select channel’ when it should say ‘deselect channel’ and vice versa. Please note that unless the update is considered critical, it will only be released over the internet and not broadcast over the air, so we recommend keeping your SX connected to your internet router by Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. If you can’t connect your SX to the internet, the update can be installed using USB instead.

When you turn your T2•R on for the first time after it has updated, a message will be displayed confirming the update has taken place successfully Your SX will update automatically overnight whilst in standby, as long as you haven't disabled automatic updates in the System Settings menu. When trying to set a recording that clashed with two other recordings, one of which was the second part of a split event, the system would fail to present the Recording Clash prompt and the event could not be booked. It’s sleek, minimalist design is ergonomic and intuitive (if we do say so ourselves), making it easy for anyone to use. The following changes are from v1.04. Please note that v1.05 and v1.06 were not released publicly as updates.When RF Loop Through in Standby was enabled in the System section of Settings, disturbances in the output could be observed for a few minutes after entering standby. When making a regional selection during Installation, the wrong regional services could be selected. Press the ‘OK’ button whilst watching live TV to bring up our one-line guide, or the up arrow to bring up our three-line guide. This allows you to find out what’s coming up without missing a moment of your favourite show.
