5.0 out of 5 stars Quirky but great!
I was nearly put off buying this because of the negative reviews. I think the latest update has really done the job - this is a great box. I have had to return a Manhattan box (terrible lip sync and constantly crashing), a BT4k YouView box, which was really good but then kept getting stuck in standby, so third time lucky.The set up is easy but time consuming by the time it updates, scans for channels, sign into Google etc. and it sometimes seems like nothing is happening - you just have to leave it to do it’s thing. Once set up, it is a dream to use, with one caveat, you need to get used to the screens and menus. Once you do, you can zip through and it’s great. If all else fails and you think “how do I get out of this menu” you can just press the ‘live TV button’ on the remote and you’re back to the start. It has an android operating system with Google Play and most apps - they all work perfectly. Netflix is not available (yet) and NowTv can only be used via a phone or tablet via Chromecast (which works very well with no issues).Recording TV is easy - not one recording has failed. The recording are organised well - easy to find what you want.The app works really well - not sure what others are doing, but if you’re on the same network you can stream your recordings to a tablet etc. It works every time for me - as does remote record. Again, I’m not sure why/how others are having issues.The remote is Bluetooth - so no line of sight required and it has a massive range!!Overall, this is one of the best boxes you can by at the moment - it is worth the money. Just give yourself time to get to know the menus and its little quirks. It has never crashed once, you can record four programmes and watch another - I have done so several times to test it and it has never faltered. I really think the latest update has done the trick. It’s a shame Humax released this too early with bugs in the software, as this gave a poor experience for early adopters and put them off. It seems Humax have finally got their act together!
4.0 out of 5 stars Has the potential to be great but contains bugs and expensive for what it is
Overall this is a good product. It was fairly quick and easy to set up. It does a pretty good job of using the regular TV aerial (which is old technology) and trying to have similar functionality to the Virgin V6/360 box or Sky Q. However the system does contain bugs. I've had the system for less than a week, and already I've had a few issues where the screen went blank and the system stopped, and also programmes not recording when they were meant to. I've found out that resetting the apps fixes the blank screen issue, although not everyone would be able to discover that themselves. The Humax Aura has been around since 2020 and they should've fixed these issues by now. Unlike Sky or Virgin, Humax don't need to rely on your continuous subscription to incentivise them to fix these bugs. I also think the Humax Aura is expensive for what it is, and it doesn't allow you to install Netflix or NOW which you can do on much cheaper devices such as the Bolo Fire Stick. But overall it's a good product and there aren't any rivals that contain so many things in one, and with a few improvements it could be great.
5.0 out of 5 stars A brand to rely on.
We purchased this model to replace an older Humax set too box. After about 7 years the receiver failed.This new Humax Aura is good, easy to setup following the on-screen instructions until completed which takes 5 mins. The version we chose has double the storage of 1TB. A simple but effective on screen display for the guide. Quite quick in it's operation and quiet too.It will record 4 different channels without watching any at the same time. Whilst watching a channel, it will record 3 separate channels.All black polycarbonate construction.Definitely would but Humax again.
1.0 out of 5 stars Has degraded badly over months
It worked well for the first few months but over time humax have not updated the firmware. So things like itvx player stops working and crashing. Simple viewing of certain channels now either crashes the box, black screens or has intermittent dropouts. It's channels like ITV itv3 U& Dave. U drama and many others that have a problem now and it's getting worse. The reception is near 100% on those channels with problems and my telly works perfectly on those channels where the humax box has a problem. It is becoming so unreliable now. Humax have not given a firmware upgrade on the box since I bought it so I am giving up on them. I have reset the box twice and checked all the threads about options to try and remedy the freezing and the blackouts but nothing. I have now bought a Manhattan box and we will see how that goes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Has Prime Video App, the only one i ever use !
Great "Bit of Kit", easy to set up once the relevant connections are made, just follow the onscreen instructions. Great picture quality too, would recommend this product to any potential buyer's
3.0 out of 5 stars Temperamental.
Bought 2. One, now stopped working. The other fails to record last minute or so of set recordings.Thet were simple to set up. The software ( moving around the menu selecting channels) is good.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great recorder but misses out on important apps
Good picture and sound and can record upto 4 channels while watching one and can support upto 4k revolutionary..The remote is great but it could take a long time to get used to as it covers both Freeview and Google TV.It is easy to set up recordings which are automatically put in folders.This recorder offers many important Apps but misses out on 2 very important ones, namely Now tv and Netflix. Humax has not offered any explanation as to why they missed out on these Apps.The Humax Aura has a built in Google Chromecast but it is not clear as to how to perform the the casting.In conclusion, it is well worth buying this Humax recorder as it will give hours of enjoyment.
