I need to use my existing sky L&B until December, then I will switch over to Freesat, can I change my LMB now for a universal and still get sky or do I need to wait until I change over to freesat? I don’t want to be on a ladder in December

if you are goingt o use a FREESAT ARRIS UHD box, no need to change anything. if youa re going to use an older box (humax or manhattan) maybe switch to a hybrid LNB, which can do both WB and UNI outputs

Thank you for posting this review. We have the Manhattan T3-R. A good enough recorder but it does have some little problems. For example when plugged into our new Sony A95L it tends to switch the TV on again after we’ve switched our TV off. We’ve tried switching off the HDMI control on the recorder but the problem is still there, is it still switching our TV on again after we’ve switched it off. The one other tiny thing we don’t like about the T3-R is that when it’s in standby, ie off, there’s a constant red light showing on the front of the box which we hate. What I’d like to know, does the new T4-R show the same red light when switched off? If not then we could be interested in upgrading to the T4-R. And any helpful tips to stop the recorder switching our TV on again after we’ve switched it off would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Not sure I'd ever touch a Manhattan again. Every one I've had has slowed to a crawl, been massively lacking in basic features (seriously, no netflix, d+, youtube...not even a browser?!) and overall just seem to be made as cheap as possible. They're good as a very basic entrylevel device for someone very technically illiterate and who doesn't use anything other than basic terrestrial (which is fewer and further between given the awful quality of shows these days), but thats about it. Certainly wouldn't even put them in a mid-range category at this point.

@@andyturner7963You will require a spare HDMI socket for this receiver. Outdoor aerial is recommended on Manhattan website although I am using portable aerial although live 5 miles from the nearest transmitting mast. Obviously reception while using a portable indoor aerial will vary depending on your own circumstances and distance from nearest transmitter site. I feel that these are fantastic devices and serve as a great alternative to ongoing expensive cable and satellite TV subscriptions. I now want to purchase one for my holiday caravan but will need to do some extra research to determining signal quality and if I will require an external aerial to be installed. Nonetheless it will hopefully be a great addition to my mobile holiday home if I can make it work in such a remote location. Edited to fix obvious autocorrect errors.

Ok, I'll try and explain this briefly. For older systems, (sky HD etc) when you have 2 cables, it uses one to record and one for live viewing, or both for recording. With SkyQ (wide band) it uses 2 cables to collect all the channels across both cables which allows you to record more channels at once. If you Panasonic stuff, you can only use the older (universal) LNBs.

Cool. Having ditched Sky years ago, I’ve relied on my freesat OLED Panasonic. But having dug out my old Blu Ray recorder, I’ve borrowed one line for that. So does this mean I’m reducing the channel list, or the old LMB type picks up all? Ideally I’d have 4 cables. Presumably need a new LMB for that?!

if you have a QUAD LNB which is the most popular type installed in the last 10 years, you should be able to just run a new cable if needed. the extra cables are only needed for recording, 1 cable is enough for just viewing. check the video on how to ID a quad universal LNB
