Freeview is under increasing pressure as more households switch to streaming, with millions expected to abandon aerials in the coming years. Now, a rival device has returned with a significant upgrade that expands viewing options.
Manhattan Aero 4K TV Streamer Returns
The Manhattan Aero 4K TV Streamer, fully powered by Freely, allows viewers to watch live content online rather than through traditional broadcast signals. The device sold out quickly after its initial launch earlier this year due to strong consumer demand. Manhattan has now confirmed it is fully restocked and ready to meet ongoing interest.
Alongside its return, the Aero gains a major new feature: HBO Max has been added to the platform. This streaming service brings together content from HBO, Max Originals, Warner Bros., DC, and more in a single app.
What HBO Max Offers
Popular series available on HBO Max include The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Succession, and The White Lotus. Movie fans can enjoy the complete Harry Potter collection and the Batman film franchise. However, access requires a separate subscription starting at £4.99 per month.
For those seeking free content, the Aero still provides over 50 live TV channels, extensive on-demand programming, voice search, personalised recommendations, a full TV guide, and the ability to pause live television.
Industry Reaction
Alex Arbab-Zadeh, COO of Manhattan, said: "I'm very pleased to say we now have Aero back in stock at numbers that we're confident will be able to meet the incredible demand we've seen for this great product. The addition of HBO Max to Aero – with its rich library of premium content and access to some of the world's biggest sporting events – makes an already excellent product even better. Stay tuned for even more app additions this year, bringing Aero owners even greater value and entertainment."
The Manhattan Aero 4K TV Streamer with Freely is available now for £89.99 from retailers including Currys, Argos, and John Lewis.
