UPDATE: Few things to mention.
- BBCi Player - Not loading just black screen.
- Now TV - Downloaded from play store, but when you open it says not compatible with the box.
- FREEVIEW Live TV feature is only for UK. Will not work in US.

Yas! First video on this Humax Aura UHD 4K... and coming from my favourite techie, and the King android tv boxes - Chigz! Thank you for another awesome, detailed review. I was really hoping to watch a vid on this, yours has been super helpful! I will be sharing my views on it too, soon :)

I love watching The Simpsons on Channel 4 (With Freeview).

An good review, so thank you. Already owning the HDR-2000T 1TB box, I was impressed how responsive it was. Even though I'll probably get one, I was disappointed to see that it doesn't play YouTube HDR videos, just like the 2019 Shield TV Pro! (With such power at hand, it's ridiculous thinking that both my LG UHD Blu-ray player and the Google Chromecast with Google TV can!)

Got mine today and set it up. Impressed BUT have a problem with BBC iPlayer not loading. Have you tested your iPlayer. I reckon it won't be long before Netflix is added. Great review.

[GluteMaximuz]

Most important question of all.
Jellyfin !! ?? ❤️👍
Going to find out tomorrow when mine arrives. Good old RicherSounds.

Works fine from the remote. But unable operate from my iPhone. Suggest there is an Humax Aura app this does not exist in apple App Store. Loaded the Humax live tv app but it will not accept my email or password also suggest I need to have the Humax and phone on the same network which they are I set up the box initially via the phone. Also says to turn the network server to on in the settings then select connect. Can’t find the network server in setting and can’t turn on the connect.

[GluteMaximuz]

Antenna connects should have been F Connectors. Far better than the decades old last century or so push type connectors. Can't understand why in this age, push fits are still being used.

I'd like to say great review but I was left with so many questions unanswered:
1) can u add USB storage to the Android side, I assume yes but you didnt cover
2) can you remove recordings elsewhere i.e across network
3) do recordings have DRM on them or play on a PC for example
4) you tried a tablet Netflix but why not rip the APK from a FireTV4K and try that?
5) can you reprogram the remote buttons to load diff apps (eg Netflix instead of AmazonPrime)?

[ALBERTODT]

Love it! Just can't afford it right otherwise I would buy it. Also when it comes to free tv the UK is light year ahead of everyone else in the world.

[Mr.Unbreakable]

That's impressive that you took the time to build that list.

[simongooding]

Great review. I really think Humax missed a trick here, it's £250 and should be as powerful as the shield, I cant see myself swapping my shield and Freeview box for this, for the sake of pressing input on my remote

[chris]

I see the app available in Google Play Store, any chance of a review? I'd like to see it working on an Android TV Box before buying the Aura. Many thanks, keep up the good work! 😉

[AdventureCaravanners]

Absolutely awesome Chigz. Thanks very much for sharing. 👍👍😁

[garyfairhead]

I bought an LG 4K TV last year and it's great but the Freeview Guide is sooo slow to update (Sometimes 20 to 30 seconds) and doesn't update in the background.
It's an appalling design fault and I really do need to look at getting a Freeview box

[petearmstrong]

Looks great prospect to replace my VM service. Only issue is I don't currently have an aerial for Freeview and would need to investigate a non-rooftop aerial which depends more on your location to transmitters for quality of signal. Time to investigate.

[chris]

I would be very interested in seeing how the Aura app works for streaming to another android device. Especially if it will run on another Android TV box.

[ChipsRUp]

Does it have the Pluto TV app? And if it does can the Pluto channel list be added to the TV guide listings (Over the air and streaming channels combined in the TV guide) much like a Sony Android TV? Thanks. And a good review!

[emsss]

Would have been perfect it had an STB tuner for Satellite TV....excellent review

[MrHasan]

Most Android tv boxes have problem with a videos with VC-1 codec, can you please test it on future.
Good luck on your channel.
