Manhattan has been confirmed as the third set-top box manufacturer to produce receivers as part of Freesat’s next generation range of receivers.
In September last year, Freesat confirmed that Sagemcom and Humax would also be producing the new boxes.
Code-named G2, the receivers will include HbbTV protocols in addition to the existing MHEG-5 used to deliver on demand services from the BBC, ITV and, most recently, BoxOffice365.
