New for 2026, the Manhattan S4•R Freesat TV Recorder brings you the best of live, recorded and on-demand TV, all for free. Enjoy more than 100 Freesat channels, including over 35 in HD. Just plug in your existing satellite cables to start watching, then connect to Wi-Fi for BBC iPlayer, ITVX, YouTube and more

Freesat is the UK’s free-to-view satellite TV service. Instead of using a TV aerial, it delivers channels to your home via a satellite dish, so it’s perfect if you already have a dish but want to be rid of a costly monthly subscription. It’s also a great option where aerial reception is poor

The S4R gives you back the freedom to own your schedule. Record up to four programmes at once with a compatible setup (as fitted for Sky Q), or up to two with older setups.
in most cases.

The S4•R works with Standard (Universal), Wideband (used by Sky Q) and SCR/​Unicable satellite feeds, and auto-detects the signal type during setup. Four-channel recording needs either two Wideband feeds (as fitted for Sky Q) or a single SCR feed; with two standard cables you get two-tuner operation. If you’re not sure what cabling you have, our independent installer can help.
