Manhattan TV, the British TV device specialist, today announces the launch of the Aero 4K TV Streamer with Freely, the free streaming platform backed by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and 5.
The Manhattan Aero heralds a new era, making Freely available to enjoy on any existing TV. Users simply connect Aero to their broadband network over Wi-Fi – no aerial or satellite dish required – to enjoy more than 60 live TV channels and over 75,000 hours of on-demand content from BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, 5 and more.
Aero uses the award-winning TiVo OS – so on top of Freely there’s Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video (subscriptions required), as well as YouTube and much more. Additionally, TiVo+ gives you another 400+ completely free streaming channels and a huge library of free on-demand movies and shows.
By leveraging TiVo OS, the Manhattan Aero puts this world of global and local content in one place, making it simple to search across live and on-demand TV for your next watch. Stunning
4K pictures and high-quality voice search make browsing and discovery a joy. And because Aero streams over Wi-Fi, you can access Great British Telly in any room with a Wi-Fi signal.
Simple to set up and easy to use, the Manhattan Aero 4K TV streamer combines Manhattan’s heritage as the leading British TV box and recorder manufacturer, the Freely streaming platform and TiVo’s award-winning OS, with advanced features including TiVo Voice.
The launch of the Manhattan Aero 4K TV Streamer comes as new research shows demand for Freely growing. Freely is forecast to become the UK’s largest TV device platform within the next five years*, with research from YouGov finding that over 70 per cent of Samsung and LG users want Freely on their next TV** – making the Aero an ideal way for them to get Freely on their TV.
Alex Arbab-Zadeh, COO for Manhattan says: “Freely is a brilliant new platform that delivers Great British Telly over broadband with no monthly bills – but there are millions of TVs out there that don’t have it built in. Aero fixes that. Just connect to Wi-Fi and you’ve got live TV, catch-up and all your favourite streaming apps – a simple, affordable way to upgrade any TV without having to replace it.”
Jonathan Thompson, CEO at Everyone TV, says: “From the 2026 FIFA World Cup to another season of Celeb Traitors, this year promises an incredible line up of TV moments for the whole family. We’re thrilled to expand Freely with the launch of the Manhattan Aero 4K TV streamer device, available in February. Our research shows that viewers who can’t yet stream Freely are eager to do so, and with the new Manhattan Aero, even more people can enjoy the same Freely experience found on TVs – bringing all their favourite live and on-demand TV together, for free, over Wi-Fi.”
