    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.

    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 RUclips 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!)

    You didn't really cover the DVR aspect of the device very well. For example: If I were to install locast would I be able to schedule a recording from a particular locast channel or is the record feature limited to just off the air channels? Since I already have mythtv for a DVR and a smart tv I don't see a lot of added value here.

    Does the cast version of NOW TV and Netflix work?

  • @kbhasi
    @kbhasi 3 года назад +1

    Android TV devices that support the TV version of Netflix will have a 'Netflix ESN' listed on the 'about' page.
    10:44 That's due to Netflix DRM not being able to work correctly since the files and ESN were missing.
    10:53 I think it'd need to be Netflix certified as well. Other services seem to play in UHD because those services likely use Google's Widevine DRM, if they use any kind of video DRM.
    11:18 I believe it's because Disney Plus uses Google Widevine for its DRM, or at least, Disney was listed as one of the client companies on the Widevine website.
    Honestly, I think I'm going to stick with my Mi Box since that has a valid Netflix ESN and can play Netflix content at FHD (it's not the Mi Box S which is the model that supports UHD).

      Most of the digital recorders I have seen are Humax and they do not impress me.
      All seem to go nuts after you fill up the HDD, and they are less than the most responsive machines I have ever played with on top of that.
      Hopefully the A53 1.8 Ghz quad core in this will provide a snappier experience, but I wouldn't count on it.
      Likewise the VideoCore 6 is one of the weaker mobile GPU cores on the market - honestly the entire thing is utterly unimpressive for the price they are asking for only 1 TB of storage.

    My 2Tb model arrived this morning, all seems to work including BBC iplayer. I did get a black screen (and we thought BDOS was just a Windows thing) the first time I tried to record something as it then wouldn't display a tv picture. Power off and on seemed to resolve and now seems fine, it was early in the setup so maybe it was getting the hdd ready. Picture quality seems far superior to my very old pvr box and everything works quickly, much faster than a really new LG tv guide. Have located a manual on the Humax site so will read that later. Looks like there's supposed to be a Humax Aura App for IOS and Android but doesn't seem to be in either store yet.
    Iplayer - seems to work sometimes. Running from the shortcut at the top of the screen seems to give a black screen but scrolling down to where the apps are listed in detail it works, the shortcut up the top then works. I also had an issue with it saying internet not connected, the settings indicated that wifi was switched on but I haven't entered the password as I'm using ethernet.
    I'm guessing it's a bit buggy still, hopefully updates will be pushed out.
    Have discovered the remote from our very old BT Youview box (Humax) controls most functions on the Aura which is a plus as my wife won't have to learn another remote.

    To who’m it may concern, Hello my name is Karin & I have a question about this Humax Aura machine , because I love this device but it seems as though it is a British based product and haven’t been able to see it anywhere i’e. Amazon here in America & what I would like to know, Is this device sold here in America too or am I looking in the wrong place?

    I wonder if there's a Freesat version of this as opposed to Freeview.

    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)?

      I was thinking about the same question about USB storage, and those Remoate App Buttons which will become useless if the app is discontinued. Roku makes the same mistake. He should have covered it.
