Review: Top notch recording freeview set top box - My Freesat box gave up the ghost recently and I'd never really used Freeview so i thought i'd give this one a go as it was reasonably priced and had all the features I needed. What annoyed me with freesat was they lost the C4 HD channel, which is a bit rubbish when all the other main stream channels were available in HD (there was a work around for this, but it wasn't the best and you couldn't record it). This freeview option from Manhatten was very tempting because it was a lot cheaper than some of the freesat options out there. This is probably because there's no wifi or smart TV options with it, it just allows you to record tv programmes and pause them. Which is fine by me as my TV already has all the Smart TV apps etc, so i just needed this option so i wasn't needlessly duplicating things. Set up was a doddle and took a few minutes, Picture quality is excellent, as is the Programme Guide interface, it's really neat, responsive and does the job really well. You can easily set your favourite channels instead of scrolling through loads of channles you never watch. The remote is very neat as well and very easy to get used to and use, and you can program it with your TV remote which is a good feature. All in all, i'm really impressed with this little freeview recorder, comes with a 2 year warranty as well if you register (which was very easy to do by the way), glad i bought it. Review: Good quality - This simple to use and quiet good quality I would recommend highly to anyone considering buying ## Features - You’ll always be entertained with 70 TV channels, 15 HD channels and 25+ radio stations from Freeview. Simply connect to your rooftop aerial (indoor aerials are unreliable and not recommended). - Discover what’s on in the beautiful 8-day TV Guide without missing a thing on the mini-TV. - Pause & rewind live TV. Whether you need to make a cup of tea or skip back and replay a great moment, the T2-R is always recording the channel that you’re watching - Record two programmes at once and record entire series at the touch of a button. - The 500GB hard drive holds up to 300 hours of recordings, smartly organised into categories and series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07D6Y2C97 | | Best Sellers Rank | 22,310 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 45 in Set-Top Receiver Boxes | | Item model number | T2-R | | Manufacturer | Manhattan | | Product Dimensions | 20 x 26.5 x 4.8 cm; 684.02 g | ## Images ![Manhattan T2-R 500 GB Freeview HD Recorder - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pEcpsI0EL.jpg) ![Manhattan T2-R 500 GB Freeview HD Recorder - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71g78h8uLeL.jpg) ![Manhattan T2-R 500 GB Freeview HD Recorder - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dh1YKAFxL.jpg) ![Manhattan T2-R 500 GB Freeview HD Recorder - Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yPuH7IdSL.jpg) ![Manhattan T2-R 500 GB Freeview HD Recorder - Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wPIZVpyBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top notch recording freeview set top box *by R***T on 2 July 2021* My Freesat box gave up the ghost recently and I'd never really used Freeview so i thought i'd give this one a go as it was reasonably priced and had all the features I needed.

This is a Freeview HD recorder, not a Freeview Play so it doesn't have the catch up apps like iPlayer and ITV Hub, it's not 4K either. If you want any of those go for the newer T3-R version. For me this version was fine as I don't have a 4K TV yet and have a Now TV stick, more importantly the T3-R is more money. Posistives: Compact size, good picture (HD), easy to install, reasonable price, EPG (programme guide) easy to navigate, can show alternative showings of programmes to avoid clashes. Negatives: No light to show when it is recording, if recording a series the last one recorded is on the top so you need to scroll down to the earliest one - the oldest should be on top, remote hasn't been able to contol the volume - this is TV dependant but the SKY and Now TV remotes manage to do it. Overall this is a good value option if you want a Freeview HD PVR with no additional apps . ## Frequently Bought Together - Manhattan T2-R 500 GB Freeview HD Recorder - Black - RELIAGINT TV Aerial Cable 3m – Pure Copper TV Coaxial Cable with Dual Shielding for Strong Signal – Straight or Right-Angle – Female-to-Female Adaptor Included – Fire-Resistant Aerial Connectors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/77587157-manhattan-t2-r-500-gb-freeview-hd-recorder-black](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/77587157-manhattan-t2-r-500-gb-freeview-hd-recorder-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-10*
