Does the T4•R require Wi-Fi or an internet connection to work?

No, the T4•R can func­tion as a stand­ard Freeview TV record­er without an inter­net con­nec­tion. You can set it up and use core fea­tures like watch­ing and record­ing live TV without Wi-Fi.

How­ever, con­nect­ing the T4•R to the inter­net enhances your exper­i­ence by providing:

• Soft­ware Updates: Receive the latest updates for improved per­form­ance and new features.
• Pro­gramme Images: View images asso­ci­ated with pro­grammes for a rich­er brows­ing experience.
• Addi­tion­al Pro­gramme Inform­a­tion: Access detailed inform­a­tion, includ­ing sec­ond­ary titles, series, and epis­ode numbers.
• Search Func­tion­al­ity: Search for both live broad­cast pro­grammes (up to 7 days ahead) and on-demand content.

If you prefer not to con­nect to the inter­net, you can per­form soft­ware updates using a USB stick.
