Manhattan T3-R Freeview Play 4K Smart Recorder 1TB

Product Information

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.

Therefore, the T3 was discontinued a couple of years ago – and the T3-R has been recently discontinued as well. We’re told, however, that once the T4 series is released – support for the T3 series will continue, with some new features potentially coming from the T4-R to the T3-R as well. Manhattan’s Freeview History The ultimate subscription-free TV experience: the T3-R perfectly combines over 85 Freeview channels with on demand TV from BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5, UKTV Play and more. It’s important to note that if you have two consecutive recordings on the same channel then the padding between them will be ignored – the first recording will end at the scheduled time and the next recording will start at the scheduled time. The same applies if you have two consecutive recordings on different channels and a recording on another channel that overlaps both of these recordings. The T4 and T4-R will also support Channel List Management, a newer Freeview function that enables HD-swapping of channels.When padding was set to Manual and a recording started, if the Guide information had not yet been retrieved the recording would be saved with only the channel name, date and time the recording started. Despite the new features, the new boxes will actually be smaller than their predecessors, with the T4, in particular, being considerably smaller than the T3, so you could easily place it in any room or even take it with you when travelling. Manhattan T4-R

Your T3 will update automatically overnight whilst in standby, as long as you haven't disabled automatic updates in the System Settings menu. The following changes are from v1.01(the original launch release). Please note that v1.02 to v1.22 were not released publicly. ResolvedIf your T3-R is connected to the internet and left in standby, it will update automatically overnight, unless you have disabled automatic updates in the System Settings menu. Please see below for more information about updating, including how to update by USB. Changes New TV Guide Surf & Scan Banner When watching TV press, the ‘OK’ button a banner appears at the bottom of the screen displaying programme information. Press either the up or down arrows around the OK button to scroll up and down the channel list displayed on the left hand side of the screen, if you then press ‘OK’ again the programme synopsis will be displayed in a larger pop up panel. This provides the option to record the programme or series or set a reminder!

The system will re-request app icons (e.g. iPlayer) if there is an issue receiving them on the first request. The latest networking libraries have been integrated for improved network performance and reliability (e.g. in a Carrier Grade NAT environment). When content in an app (e.g. ITV Hub) was regionally restricted the error message made it sound like there was a problem with the app or T3. The message now clearly states it is the content that is unavailable.

A fast, future-proofed and 4K-ready Freeview Play smart recorder

One final question. The Humax let me search for all Movies for the whole of the 8 days available in the EPG. Can that be done with the Manhattan?

The following changes are since v1.02 (the original launch release). Please note that v1.03 was not released publicly.In the Guide, after holding the RIGHT button on the remote control to scroll fast through time, the focus would incorrectly be on the programme 1 hour after the time that had been scrolled to. When Auto Standby was disabled and the T3-R was left on overnight on a channel with broadcasting breaks like Blaze (channel 64), recordings on that channel could fail.
