“Sky Q vs Manhattan T4-R: Recording Live TV Showdown!”

Share

Sky Q remains a top choice for recording live TV with its advanced features, despite Sky’s emphasis on streaming devices for new customers. Priced from £32 per month, Sky Q offers access to numerous channels and the capability to record and store content on its built-in hard drive.

Key features of Sky Q include full voice search, integration with various apps like Netflix, content recommendations, and a TV guide. For those interested, there are long-term contract requirements, but an alternative option is available at a slightly lower price.

Argos now offers the latest Manhattan T4-R box at its lowest price ever. This device is similar to Sky Q, featuring a built-in hard drive that can store over 1,100 hours of content. Users can record two programs simultaneously while watching a third, and access an additional 60,000 hours of on-demand shows and movies.

Equipped with a powerful processor, 4K compatibility, and a user-friendly remote, the Manhattan T4-R is available in a premium 2TB version for £217 at Argos. Once purchased, there are no monthly fees as the device is Freeview-powered, providing access to over 100 free channels.

For an even better deal, John Lewis has reduced the price of the Manhattan T4-R to £215.17, offering a savings of over £14 from the original price. It’s important to note that Freeview devices like these cannot access premium channels such as Sky Sports or Sky Cinema.
