Manhattan SX Freesat HD Box

Brilliant product, easy to set up, even for me great picture and good price, what’s not to like

Easy to install, works just fine. Has a Swap button, which is really handy. The unit is tiny compared with last Humax box. Really happy with this.

Easy to install with on-screen instructions. Takes a short time to boot up when I switch on. Lovely picture. I bought this because my Freeview picture keeps breaking up in bad weather conditions, no such problem with the Manhattan box, I was disappointed that I am unable to stream catch-up, eg iPlayer, ITVX so it's a pain to have to keep faffing around with different remotes and switching back and forth from TV to HDMI. Overall though, it's worth the small price when reception is poor.

Arrived in good time and exactly as advertised. Easy to load and works great. Usual freeview layout with a great picture.

Easy to set up and worked first time. Crystal clear picture and detected a long list of channels. Whats not to like!

Brilliant

Nice compact box good price.set it up and now watching it

I recently moved to a property with a Freesat sattelite dish, so I wanted an inexpensive Freesat box. This box was simplicity itself to connect & set up. The device takes a little while to boot up when you first turn it on, but I have now set it up to be permanently on (no standby), so there is no delay when I turn on my TV. The scan was very quick, and it found 184 channels. The user interface is intuitive & easy to use, and the EPG works well. The remote control is a little small compared to my TV & HD recorder remotes, but it works fine, providing you point it directly at the box. The box has an F-connector input for your LNB lead, an HDMI output for your TV, and a small jack connector for the supplied A/V cable. This cable terminates in 3 phono plugs (L & R audio, and yellow composite video). These can be plugged directly into the inputs of your device, or into the supplied phono-to-SCART converter. I used the SCART converter to plug into my HD/DVD recorder. Unfortunately, while the picture quality from the HDMI output to the TV is excellent, the A/V output is very poor! The picture is blurry and produces poor quality recordings. I'm not sure why this is, but I have knocked a star off for this reason. I can recommend this little Freesat box for straightforward viewing using the HDMI output, but unfortunately the Composite video output image quality is very poor. I don't know if this is a problem with my own box, or a general problem with this product, but it was bad enough for me to knock a star off in my review.

Excellent device which has greatly improved access to UK TV to our Philips kitchen set in France. Even the sound has improved. It was delivered very promptly.

Plugin and follow the instructions - everything is up and running within 10 minutes. Small, compact and good. Highly recommended to watch UK TV in Europe.
