Manhattan Aero

Just picked up one of these small Freely boxes. Mainly to get rid of some aerial cabling TBH.
Easy install, connected via Ethernet and away you go, Wifi is also an option. Not much to say, does what I expected and the picture and sound is fine.
All in all, as expected, but some of "Free TV" options are poor, with more ads than content...

I just go the I P T V route for £20 a year, unlimited options there, yes I know I'm naughty.

Re: Manhattan Aero

Your can get local tv from some areas on the Aero if you use correct postcode

The Local TV channels currently working on Freely are:
Liverpool TV
Birmingham TV
London TV
Leeds TV
Latest TV (Brighton)
KMTV (Kent)

If you change the postcode then your BBC/ITV services will use that code too.

Now that's an interesting tip! Ta very much :-)
It's not the main TV, this TV is usually on XBox duty, but can now be used as a standby if needed.

Re: Manhattan Aero

Freely is decent. Long overdue to be honest.

On my Hisense tele, I have to sometimes pull the power for it start streaming, blank screen.

Try this on the HDMI cable, it might help?
