yes

I set my Manhattan T4-R Recordable up three weeks ago with no internet and the TV Guide worked fine. (Did you do a manual firmware upgrade via a Flash/USB drive from the instructions on Manhattan's website? - that may resolve your issue) Personally I am finding this box great for Freeview and once connected to an ISP the apps work great, the TH-cam App should be deployed out to all boxes via the internet (or via a manual Firmware upgrade) on hopefully Manhattan's next "patch" to be rolled out in about six weeks time (six weeks from today - 9th Dec 2024 as I post this comment). - Am looking forward to the TH-cam App being deployed once the certification has been sorted out. Overall "Fantastic" recordable Box so - far.

Yes you could, but you would only get the basic apps. I would suggest a fire stick would be a cheaper option for streaming.

Pop on over to our website Freesat spares.co.uk we have all of the parts that you need to get your box working again

Also if you are switching from Sky Q to the latest Freesat Boxs (Arris) you do not need to swop the LNB as they both use a Wideband LNB.

Great. www.freesatspares.co.uk

Yes you can!

To reset your remote control to it's default set-up, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the red button (this is not the standby or record button) and AD buttons on your Freesat remote control for three seconds. 2. Then press and hold the Home button. The LED will blink once. 3. Finally press and hold the red button (this is not the standby or record button) for five seconds. The LED will blink five times to confirm the remote control has removed the existing TV code and reset to default set-up.

We’ve done the same and had ours in mute so we’ve got no sound at all, help???

@@wendyrockingham8482 can you explain a little more, is it possible your box is turned all the way down? you would have to reset the remote and start the process again if it was

@@wendyrockingham8482 sounds like the volume on the box itself is turned down low, you need to reset your remote so it will control the volume on the box again. then setup the remote after you have raised the volume www.freesat.co.uk/help/4k-tv-boxes/remote-controls/reset-remote

Hi. I don't think there is. The update was pushed out to all UHD boxes without notice.

@@FreesatSpares I've had several failed recordings since this garbage update, rebooted the box, no change. Whoever designed this update must be an ex Microsoft Windows designer, (changes the interface style for no apparent reason other than to justify his employment, should be fired instead.

Leave your box plugged in overnight and it should update you may have to leave it 24 hours it needs to be connected to the satellite signal

Yes you can

@FreesatSpares cheers, I have a few 1tb ssds laying about 😁

Hi We dont recommend SSD upgrades for this box. Thats not to say it would not work, but with the age of the boxes now, we have not tested the upgrade and would see no real benifit in doing so.

Good morning, we have not tested this, but you could try using the search mode to see if it has a code to control the SB.

Thank you. Freesat's own website is wrong. Spent ages banging my head with no success; a couple of minutes watching your video and a minute or two programming the remote 👍👍👍

@@goldenshowercap9395 great to know, glad we helped

Hi, you you are asking if the Freely Service is on this device. No it is not. freesatspares.co.uk/blogs/news/freely-alternatives-will-iptv-lead-the-way

Hi. the 2 systems are not compactibale but you could change your LNB to a Hybrid type which has both types of output in one device that work as indpendant outputs. freesatspares.co.uk/products/4k-hybrid-lnb-run-your-freesat-sky-more-from-one-dish

yes it will. we sell the cable and connectors on our website freesatspares.co.uk/products/satellite-cable-dual-shotgun-style-for-freesat-sky

How do I reset my PIN? I've lost/forgotten it. Your PIN can be reset using the master PIN. In order to protect minors, we don't publish the master PIN, so please contact MANHATTAN TV and they will give it to you. Once you have the master PIN, go to the PIN section of the Settings menu and choose the 'Change PIN' option. When it asks for your PIN, enter the Master PIN and then follow the instructions to create a new one.

@@FreesatSpares problem solved

what freesat box model do you have?

@@FreesatSpares Human 1100

My wife hates her new Sky Q mini box, she says it's too complicated. Unfortunately the original cable feeds that connected her Sky + no longer receive a signal to the changeover from Universal LNB to a Hybrid LNB. I already have a Sky+ working off the Universal section of the Hybrid LNB going into the living room, there's two spare ports remaining on the Sky's supplied Hybrid LNB and was wondering if those remaining ports will work on the previously-used Sky + box which I want to relocate to the kitchen.

Sorry, i meant Humax1100.

@@n49martin OK, if you want to run SKYQ and a Freesat Humax box you will need a Hybrid LNB. we made a video on this th-cam.com/video/SyECp8O_OCI/w-d-xo.html

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

Thanks, it’s an old Humax HDR-1000S

hi. its not freesat, but I was under the impression there was a serect menu that allowed access to the LNB settings and it could be changed for other LNBs

th-cam.com/video/uep85RX7keA/w-d-xo.html

@@FreesatSpares SCR is not working as well with my Universal LNB and the SKY Q that was a thing i tryed out, and i found this option wou your Video :) My Linux Receiver Works just Fine.

@@Gmh6477 most TV satellite inputs use a universal type so if you had sky HD that's what you would use right away. If you had sky q you need to change the LNB to a universal type.

@@tonyhill3514 hello Tony yes the Manhattan SX box will work with any sky dish that has a universal LNB see your other videos about types. For the Sx box you will need to make sure the LNB is a universal or hybrid type

@@tonyhill3514 another way to look at it is if you had sky q it will not work if you had sky HD it will work. But if you need to change the LNB on your dish it's very simple

@@migsvensurfing6310 great question the Freesat uhd 4K boxes do not need the internet to operate but of course you won't be able to access the smart features

@@stevemcilroy.62 it's a really difficult one to give advice on when I can't see the installation things like trees in the distance might be causing an issue damage to cable and obviously if your dish isn't aligned correctly. And like this video talks about if you've got a wide band lnb be and you need a universal type you're not going to get a signal

I always suggest if you have limited experience it's probably quicker and cheaper to get a local installer to assist you.

@@FreesatSpares thank you for a promo response. It’s a brand new cable, dish, and the signal strength from the meter shows top of the scale, so really puzzled. It’s also a new tv, so the free sat is already installed. I’m thinking of changing the whole dish for zone 1 and if that don’t work, I’m up Sh” creek without a paddle,

@@stevemcilroy.62 if you're using an analogue metre with a needle that really doesn't mean much because there's hundreds of satellites in the sky and you could be picking up on any of them... To help you there's a great app called satfinder which gives you reference points that you can line up the dish

@@FreesatSpares yes, thanks. While the TV was tuning, it did say Astra 28.2E so I’m assuming that’s what it was aimed at. I will have a look at satfinder now, thank you

For the Humax boxes, they can format them from the menus in the box itself

It does not, I am very surprised, as I think you are. Maybe they will add it later.... I'm sorry I don't know, it seems odd to me too.

Hi. thanks for your comment, its not really about mark ups, its buying power, being just a small independent company, we can not get these boxes at the same prices as the big boys, such as argos or currys. But I think were we win is a great personal service to many of our very happy customers.

@@FreesatSpares"Buying power". Being a smaller company doesn't give you the right to rip people off. People will and SHOULD go elsewhere for their purchase if thats your attitude 👍

@@ONEWAYLEEWAY I think you are misunderstanding what I am trying to say. We can not buy these boxes as cheap as the large retailers, so if we sell them, we pay more than them at the wholesalers. We pride ourselves in providing the best customer information and support from years of experience and go above and beyond for our customers.

No you need a Manhattan remote for these.

Given they delayed launch of this by a few months they should have released it with at least netflix and TH-cam. I won't be buying this now, I'll stick with Freesat. One annoying part of Freesat is NO remote recording via the app. For some totally BIZARRE reason Freesat have removed this facility!!!!!

Used this product for a week now cost me £169 and its value for money. I was disappointed that there was no Netflix, Now and Prime Apps otherwise love the specs and would recommend if you want to record programmes to skip commercials and find easily your TV schedule.

Would this still work with Amazon fire stick as I haven one a HDMI slot in my tv and can I add a internal areal thanks

@@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.
