Can I record on the Aero?
No, the Manhattan Aero can’t record live TV. It’s a streamer, not a recorder.
Live TV on the Aero comes from Freely, which delivers channels over your broadband as an internet stream. Broadcasters don’t allow streamed content to be recorded, so recording isn’t possible on Freely on any device. Everyone TV, who run Freely, have confirmed that Freely will never support recording.
You can pause live TV for up to 15 minutes on the Aero. After that, the options are to resume from where you paused or jump straight back to live.
For full recording, including series recording, pause, and rewind, the Manhattan T4‑R Freeview Play TV Recorder or Manhattan S4‑R Freesat TV Recorder are the right choice. They record from your aerial or satellite dish through a single integrated guide, and connect to any TV over HDMI. The T4‑R or S4‑R and an Aero pair well together – use Freely for live and catch-up, and the T4‑R or S4‑R for recording.
