Our take

Manhattan Aero is the specialist choice in this list. Its reason to exist is Freely: live UK television delivered over broadband without an aerial or dish. It also supports HDR10+, Wi‑Fi 6, Ethernet and Dolby Atmos passthrough.

Who it suits

It is ideal for rooms where live UK television matters more than Android-style app flexibility.

What to know first

Aero does not support Dolby Vision and does not use the Google Play ecosystem. Manhattan does not publicly specify RAM or internal app-storage capacity, so ViewHarbour does not invent those figures.
