Yes, freeview FV play etc are Terrestrial, freesat is for satellites , but if your TV has freeview play built in i.e. certainly not Samsung , you "may" be able to but the play bit also allows you to use the program guide for which you need an aerial for terrestrial TV I think, but your freesat TV/box may have the equivalent catch up services .

To be honest you don't need Freeview play if you have the apps for the catch up services built in.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

Just to complicate things a little, Humax and BT( Humax) do Youview. I have a Freeview Play box connected to the TV in the bedroom, but a Youview box in the lounge. Youview does everything that Play does, but imho is much simpler and easier than Play.Incidentally, the bedroom TV is a Sharp with Play built in, but I find it more complicated than the Humax box.David.0

The Manhattan boxes linked above are 4K.I record anything I want to watch that’s not on BBC, so I can skip the ads. The PVR I have is a DTR- T2100, and the lowest res is fine on our 30” TV, which is capable of full HD. Most people these days seem to have TVs that are much bigger, though, and the lower res might look poor.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
My mum has the Manhattan T3-R. It's very good indeed and very easy to use. I also have the Aura and it's great, though I'm not sure the £100 or so premium over the Manhattan is justified unless you have some particular requirements.
