Sky Q remains a popular choice for recording live TV, offering access to numerous channels and the ability to store content on its built-in hard drive. Despite Sky’s focus on streaming devices for new customers, Sky Q is still available starting at £32 per month.
Key features of Sky Q include voice search, integration with various apps like Netflix, content recommendations, and a TV guide. However, a long-term contract is required for Sky Q subscriptions, leading some consumers to consider alternative options.
Argos is currently offering the Manhattan T4-R box at its lowest price ever, a device similar to Sky Q with a built-in hard drive capable of storing over 1,100 hours of content. The Manhattan T4-R allows recording of two shows simultaneously while watching a third, and offers access to over 60,000 hours of on-demand shows and movies.
Priced at £217 for the premium 2TB option, the Manhattan T4-R eliminates monthly fees as it operates on Freeview, providing access to over 100 free channels. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, John Lewis is offering the Manhattan T4-R at a discounted price of £215.17, over £14 off the original price.
It’s important to note that Freeview devices like the Manhattan T4-R do not grant access to premium channels such as Sky Sports or Sky Cinema. Consumers should consider their content preferences before opting for either Sky Q or the Manhattan T4-R.
