As with all of its TV devices, including models targeted at the U.K.\u2019s Freely and Freeview platforms, Manhattan\u2019s S4-R is designed to add more simplicity and functionality to the free TV world, making it easier for U.K. TV viewers to potentially ditch their subscription-based platform and streaming services. In the S4-R\u2019s case, its recording capabilities essentially give you the potential to watch Freesat according to your own schedule, rather than being bound by the service\u2019s linear channel schedules.<\/p>\n
The initial version of the S4-R will carry 500GB of recording space, which equates to around 300 hours of recording space. Manhattan will subsequently be launching versions of the S4-R, though, with 1TB and 2TB of internal storage \u2013 enough to hold 600 or 1,200 hours of recorded video respectively. The S4-R also lets you pause live TV for as much as two hours, or rewind live video to catch anything you might have missed.<\/p>\n
The S4-R uses one of Manhattan\u2019s proprietary interfaces, meaning everything is available from one well-organised onscreen space, with searching possible across all the available live TV channels, as well as more than 60,000 hours of on-demand apps including the BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, Channel 5 and more besides. It\u2019s with the streamed services that the S4-R supports that its 4K talents come into play, given that Freesat doesn\u2019t actually broadcast any 4K channels.<\/p>\n
Alex Arbab-Zadeh, COO for Manhattan says: “We know how much people value the simple, subscription-free control and intuitive experience of our T4-R Freeview recorder. Our audience has been actively asking for that same experience on Freesat, and we\u2019re thrilled to deliver the S4-R as the answer. It not only brings our proprietary user interface to satellite viewing, but it also drastically elevates the recording capability by supporting up to four simultaneous shows, compared to the previous two-channel limit. The S4-R is the perfect subscription TV replacement for Brits seeking more power, more choice, and an end to high monthly fees.\u201d<\/p>\n
The S4-R 500GB is available in the U.K. now for \u00a3219.99, while the S4-R 1TB will be available in May for \u00a3249.99 and the 2TB edition will be available in June for \u00a3279.99.<\/p>\n
