To recap
The Humax Aura is an advanced set-top box, with its slick Freeview Play performance being one of its most appealing elements. That’s layered on Android TV, with access to apps from Google and offering Google Cast. The biggest omission is Netflix which could be a deal breaker for some - but otherwise offers an incredibly wide range of options, from recording, to remote smartphone access to support for external drives. It’s very much a complete package … except for lacking Netflix.
