Compatible device required. Review: Great first impressions - upgrade from You View - My old You View box that I bought refurbished keeps resetting and I’ve lost my recordings several times. I originally replaced with a Manhattan Box. That was a mistake and I returned it. The Manhattan box felt inferior and dates and functionality is nowhere near as good as the /YouView. For example, you can’t download apps for streaming so keep having to switch back to tv and the menu was clunky. The new Humax feels like an old friend in new clothes and whilst it can’t quite match a subscription TiVo Box, it does a very good impression! I’m am happy with 2tb of recording space too. Menu layout on TV is a bit different but not too much to get used to. You can download apps via the Play store and get all the usual streaming apps, with the exception of Netflix. That’s a shame but I can deal with one tv switch. Voice control is a nice touch. It was easy to set up and so I’d recommend paying a bit more and buying the Humax. As an aside, when I bought the Manhattan, I found it was missing some essential wires (like an Ethernet and aerial cable) that I then had to buy. Whereas, the Humax came with them all. It really is the best hard drive tv recorder out there that doesn’t come with a hefty monthly subscription to pay. With this, you can choose to pay for extra if you want it but with 177 free channels plus on demand, I can only see sports fans and movie buffs maybe wanting the extra Review: Delighted with this & really fantastic 4K reception and am well pleased with it so far. - This has been purchased to replace my older model which was so far out of date that it did not work well anymore. Delighted with this although there is a slight learning curve because of increased functionality and slightly different menu presentation. The ability to record four channels at once is fantastic and because the box is wi-fi we've been able to get rid of another cable. Really fantastic 4K reception and am well pleased with it so far. Easy to set up with more channels than my old one found with so many apps and great speech recognition as well. Having fun with it as well as watching TV and catch up. ## Features - Ultra High Definition - up to 4x the picture quality with 4K UHD and HDR - Android TV - easy setup with your Google Account, access your favourite apps and games - Google Play Store - thousands of Apps and Games including desertcart Prime Video, Disney+ and BT Sport (paid subscription may be required) - Google Assistant - access Entertainment, change the volume, get answers, and more using your voice remote - Smart Home Control - use your voice to create the perfect viewing environment.

We had been considering ditching Sky as we were using it as a tool to access apps that we also paid for - Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. All are excellent services and we found that we weren't actually watching the sky channels so why pay for them? The Humax box was reviewed as being the best alternative to allow us to pause and play live TV using freeview+. It does this well, but there can be some glitches where the android software is struggling to keep up with what is asked of it. It sometimes glitches a little between channels and can take 40 seconds or so to boot up when turned on afresh. Is it as good as a SkyQ box? Nowhere near. Sky is fluid and sharp, the remote is far better laid out and the navigation of the system is far easier. That being said - it costs a lot and that cost is repeated every month. Sky has also mastered the "you can't use the box without the subscription", so there was no way we were able to keep it. Overall Hugo has proven to be an acceptable alternative. Ultimately, 4 months into Hugo we will be watching free TV (the cost of the box divided by our old sky subscription), so that is a win that in times of economic challenge is well worth it. Would I recomend? Yes with caution. ## Frequently Bought Together - HUMAX Aura Android TV 4K Freeview Play Recorder with Google Assistant and Chromecast - 2TB - Ancable 1M TV Aerial Coaxial Cable Male to Male, Satellite Cable RF TV Antenna Coax Lead to PAL Male Gold Plated Connectors Black Flylead for Sky/SkyHD, Virgin, BT,TV, VCR or DVD players with Coupler --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/242130329-aura-android-tv-4k-freeview-play-recorder-with-google-assistant](https://www.desertcart.us/products/242130329-aura-android-tv-4k-freeview-play-recorder-with-google-assistant) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
