  • New Manhattan Aero 4K TV stock going to John Lewis and Currys
  • Move fast if you want one, because it sold out fast last time
  • £69.99 for 450+ free channels

If you've been trying and failing to get your hands on the Manhattan Aero 4K TV streamer with Freely, you're not the only one: the streaming box sold out almost immediately when it went on sale last month. But now it's back, and if you move quickly you should be able to snap one up.

Manhattan TV tells us that it's sent new stock to Amazon, but that this stock is likely to go to existing pre-orders only. So if you haven't already ordered there, you'll probably do better at the Currys or John Lewis links above. We're told that new stock will be available to order from both retailers from today, 31 March.

Why did this Freely streamer sell out so quickly?

As we reported back in January, the Aero 4K TV Streamer with Freely is a really simple way to add Freely's free streaming channels to your existing TV. Freely is effectively an online version of Freeview and Freesat, delivering channels from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, and Manhattan TV knows what it's doing: it also makes hardware for those broadcast and satellite services.

The Manhattan Aero streamer is powered by TiVo OS and comes with Netflix, Disney+, YouTube and Prime Video apps as well, and it also gives you access to over 400 free streaming channels via TiVo+. Not bad for £69.99, which is one of the reasons it sold out so fast.

I haven't tested this device myself, but our colleagues at T3.com gave it the full five stars and it's been well-received elsewhere. TiVo's OS is really nice, there's tons of free stuff to watch and the Aero's plug-and-play setup makes it an easy upgrade.
