Sky Q remains a popular choice for recording live TV with its extensive channel selection and built-in hard drive for content storage, available from £32 per month. Despite Sky promoting its streaming devices to new customers, Sky Q still provides access to numerous channels, along with features like full voice search, app integration including Netflix, content recommendations, and a TV guide.
For those hesitant about committing to a long-term contract, Argos is offering the Manhattan T4-R box at its lowest price ever. Similar to Sky Q, the Manhattan T4-R includes a built-in hard drive capable of storing over 1,100 hours of content. Users can record two programs simultaneously while watching a third, and access an additional 60,000 hours of shows and movies on-demand.
The Manhattan T4-R features a speedy processor, 4K compatibility, and a convenient remote for quick access to favorite content. Argos offers the premium 2TB Manhattan T4-R for £217, with a 1TB option also available.
Additionally, the Manhattan T4-R operates on Freeview, meaning no monthly fees after the initial purchase. John Lewis has reduced the price further to £215.17, a discount of over £14 from the original price. It’s important to note that Freeview devices do not support premium channels like Sky Sports or Sky Cinema.
Opt for these devices if premium channels are not a priority for you, as they offer a cost-effective way to enjoy a wide range of free-to-view content.
