Question 1

Do you have to be in the house to record a program or can you set a recording when not at home.

Accepted Answer

You can set it to record programs when you are at home and if you get the HUMAX app on your mobile it lets you set programs when you are away from the home and it works very well For Example you are away in a hotel watching TV  and a program is coming on and you like to record it all you need to do is pick up your mobile open the app and set the program. when you get home you can watch it works every time for me.

Question 2

Does this box have netflix,amazon prime. Or can it be downloaded on to box. I saw recent questions asking but no update given.

Accepted Answer

You can download the Amazon app onto the box from the Play Store, but not Netflix. Apparently, there is an issue with some security implementation, so the suggestion is that Netflix will never be available on the current Aura hardware. There are work arounds available if you search online, but these are not for the faint hearted.

Question 3

What does this do that the humax fvp-5000t 1tb doesn't? it's a heck of a lot more expensive.

Accepted Answer

Although the 5000T is a good option for subscription-free TV, the Humax Aura has everything the 5000T offers and more. Both are Freeview Play certified (and give you):

- Over 95% of the most watched TV from 75+ live TV channels, 700+ box sets and 40,000 hours of on-demand content - all for free 
- 3 tuners allowing you to record 4 programmes whilst you watch a 5th.
- A 7-day EPG that lets you scroll back up to 7 days and play catch up content without needing to leave the TV Guide.

The Humax Aura is the next-gen in smart home entertainment. Our fastest ever set-top box is powered by a quad-core processor, making things like channel hopping quick and easy. It supports 4K HDR content, resolutions of up to 2160p and Dolby Audio, giving you the best viewing experience from any Freeview Play Recorder currently available on the market. That’s not all, Aura’s software is powered by Android TV and this allows you to:

- Access thousands of apps via the Google Play Store including Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video and BT Sport (additional subscription services may be required).
