Freeview is facing uncertainty as more households are transitioning to streaming services, potentially leading to a decline in aerial usage in the coming years. Adding to the challenges for Freeview, a competitor device has re-entered the market, offering an expanded range of content for viewers.
The Manhattan Aero 4K TV Streamer is now powered by Freely, enabling users to access live content online rather than through traditional aerial signals. The device quickly gained popularity upon its recent store debut, selling out due to high demand. Manhattan has restocked the Aero 4K TV Streamer to meet the strong consumer interest.
In an exciting development, HBO Max has been incorporated into the Aero, consolidating content from HBO, Max Originals, Warner Bros., DC, and more in a single app. This addition enhances the entertainment offerings of the Aero, although access to HBO Max requires a separate subscription starting at £4.99 per month.
While HBO Max enriches the viewing experience, the Aero continues to provide a variety of free content through Freely, offering over 50 live TV channels, on-demand shows, voice search, personalized recommendations, a comprehensive TV guide, and the ability to pause live TV.
Manhattan’s COO, Alex Arbab-Zadeh, expressed confidence in meeting the demand for the Aero and highlighted the value brought by HBO Max to the device. Priced at £89.99, the Manhattan Aero 4K TV Streamer with Freely is available from retailers such as Currys, Argos, and John Lewis, catering to the growing demand for streaming alternatives.
