Catch-up TV
Connect the Humax to your Internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and enhance your TV viewing with effortless catch-up TV. Catching up on programmes you've missed is easy - simply use the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) to 'scroll' back on the last seven days TV programmes. With support for BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub*, All 4 and Demand 5, the great majority of the last seven days’ worth of TV are just a scroll away (requires broadband Internet connection with a minimum speed of 2Mbps). *ITV Hub is available in England, Wales and The Channel Islands.
Record, pause and rewind live TV
Featuring a 1TB hard drive, it's easy to record, pause and rewind live TV. The large capacity storage holds up to 500 hours of TV - enough to be able to catch up on all your favourite TV even after an extended break away. With the pause and rewind function, interruptions from phone calls are no longer an issue - simply pause the live TV and resume when you're free again.
Stream in 4K HDR
For a step-up in picture quality, the Humax Aura is also compatible with 4K HDR streaming services. Connect to your 4K HDR TV and see enhanced detail, with a more natural picture than before. 4K HDR content is available via YouTube, Amazon Prime and many other streaming services.

Humax Aura
Have only recently purchased this Aura 1Tb recorder, and all appears to be working really well. The main reason for purchasing this, was that I can now record more than only two programmes which my previous recorder would only allow me to do.
The only problem I have is pairing the tv/av button, which is no real problem. (will have another look again)
The Richer Sounds have been extremely helpful keeping me updated with when they would be back in stock, and the unit was delivered the very next day after ordering.
Many thanks

Good on HD but pixelating on non HD channels
Excellent features and Apps access, however, there is intermittent pixelating on non HD channels.

Lots of features, BUT ……..
Bought the Aura to replace a previous ageing Humax PVR, which was starting to be temperamental as seems to be quite a common issue. It seems to have lots of new bells and whistles, compared to the previous model, BUT:-
1. Netflix is no longer accessible via the Aura box - definitely a retrograde step. I’d mistakenly assumed it would be. The Humax website says the Aura has “your favourite apps”, which is not necessarily the case.
2. It seems it’s not possible to record programmes for future viewing if they’re available on iPlayer etc, meaning that at some time in the future, they may not be accessible.

Easy to set up.
I did need to get a male to male aerial cable but that may be unique to me.
Quality of picture is excellent. Quick and easy to find programmes.
Great recording facility.

Great service from people who know their stuff!
I needed a freeview box after cancelling Virgin and having bought a blu ray system off Richer some time ago I called the local store. The guy i spoke to was very knowledgeable and explained the situation - none available - but best to order and it'll be delivered ASAP. About three weeks later it arrived. Only one issue which was the batteries for the remote were dead ( note for supplier Humax - not Richer's fault ).
