We’re all used to TV contracts that provide us with hundreds of channels but do we really watch them? Freeview TV provides 95% of the nation’s most popular shows, for free.
If you’re with BT now then you’re already getting most of your TV over Freeview with your BT box plugged into an aerial. So what’s stopping you cancelling your contract and just using their box for Freeview TV? The BT terms and conditions mean you have to return their equipment within 60 days of cancelling.
What are your options?
Don’t cancel your BT Broadband but your do want a replacement for the box. Welcome to the Manhattan TV Boxes!

The Manhattan T3•R Freeview Play Recorder gives you all the available Freeview channels including many in HD. It also gives you access to the BBC’s 4k TV via iPlayer and 4k content on YouTube!
