"If you’ve been trying to track down a Freesat recording box lately"

Not really. Most on here will have perfectly usable Foxsat-HDRs with CF and have no need of anything new. Especially as it's just rumoured to be coming.

I seem to recall the -T4R was rumoured for many many months before one appeared in the shops.

Guilty, as charged, for bumping the views count.
 
That's fine - I actually got rid of my Foxsat HDR a few years back with CF because compared to the Fox T2 it was so slow to do anything!

Unfortunately the T2 has departed now and I have replaced it with a BT TV Box Pro and was considering adding the Manhattan Freesat as belt and braces back up device.

Still have the original Aura - useful as a door stop!

Plenty of HDR Fox T2s available on ebay if you consider it unfortunate you no longer have yours.

Manhattan Launches The S4-R: A New Freesat Recorder | Cord Busters

Manhattan TV launches the S4-R, a new Freesat 4K recorder with four-channel recording, starting at £219.99 for the 500GB model

I see it says it will record 4 things at once which gives me hope that if the T4-R gets replaced by a new model it may do also removing the main reason for people choosing Humax over Manhattan.

That's only with a wideband $ky Q lnb and the 4 tuners it has inside.

On another forum someone has stated that Manhattan have crippled, in software, the tuners down to two when using a legacy/universal to prevent people complaining when they can't always make 4 recordings (as only up to two LNB modes can be selected of the four possible).

The freesat 4k box only stated two with legacy LNB but people got up to four quite happily.
 
Hopes dashed though these days there are a plethora of other reasons to avoid buying from Humax.
