As a long time Freesat user I was getting fed up with not having access to Channel 4 HD. So I decided to get a Freeview set top box instead. Reading all the different product reviews it seemed like the Manhattan T3-R was the best value-for-money and was ideal for my needs. In use I find the picture to be very vibrant indeed and with it hooked up to my Sony av receiver, the sound quality is great too. I also like the remote control although it took a while to get used to the positioning of the keys. There are some downsides for me 1. It's a bit noisy, not sure if it's the fan or the hard drive. 2. It doesn't have HDMI CEC control so you need to use both the TV and the Manhattan remote controls to power off the system. 3. There is no display on the front of the box except for a red/blue power led. These issues are not deal breakers for me.Read full review

I can not make it work. it is made for people who are able to understand tech issues. I am 81 I could not get any assistance from Lumen I could not return it as it was a gift hence No Paperwork. When my 55yr old daughter visited with her husband 53yr and 23yr old daughter and 17yr old son NON of them could make it work. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. Will throw and swallow the loss. LUMEN are not a customer supporting company. From my experience I can NOT recommend this product

I bought this to upgrade my old free view box. Although there’s no record function it’s amazingly easy to watch the programes I’ve missed by simply going back in the viewing guide and hitting play.... there’s extra channels that arnt available on my old box plus easy access to on demand channels and YouTube

bought this to use with a lg 4k tv i'd brought from usa to use with freeview and also to be able to get catch up channels. it also brings many other channel apps, most of which i doubt i'll use. set up was a snap. it's pretty intuitive remote/device which i like. seems like quality product all around.

We don't really watch TV, and had ROKU whenever we needed something - until it stopped working. I wanted something that was not reliant on internet but had the option of iPlayer and co. I found it a bit dearer, but having the kids at home 24/7 due to corona pushed me over the edge. Works well so far though I am having issues with certain HD channels. I wish the remote had prev/next buttons to skip to the next episode/video on iPlayer or youtube. Did I mention the price?
