    Do we know if the Aura will support third party gamepads, like other Android TV devices? While I'm not buying it for the games, it occurs to me that it might be interesting for the kids at some point.

    The Humax Aura looks like a good replacement for my 5 year old Panasonic Freeview Play PVR and avoids the need for a Chromecast. I have a couple of questions:
    1. The FAQ says that the LED has can be set to 5 levels of brightness. Is one of these off? (I might get a Humax Aura for the bedroom, although more likely the Panasonic will be retired to the bedroom).
    2. The remote uses Bluetooth rather than IR so could the Humax be wall mounted vertically behind a TV (there are numerous mounts on Amazon that allow this to be done with the Sky Q)?
    3. If one has more than one Humax Aura then can recordings on one be played on the others?
    4. Will the forthcoming Humax H7 work with the Aura (as the H3 was supposed to do)?
    Any information would be appreciated.

    1. Already answered but repeat - Yes
    2. Yes
    3. No
    4. Not known at this time, more info when received.

    Thanks for the information. It sounds promising.

    Does Anyone know if the Aura have subtitles on it Please?
    I've had a look at the website, but I didn't see any mention of it.
    It's just that Hard of Hearing people(like my wife.)Rely on them.
    The new model looks very interesting, as a replacement when my 5000t packs up.
    Finally I take it that it will still tune into the present HD channels on Freeview.
    Many thanks for your reply.

    Hi, will the new Aura be able to transfer SD recording for archive like the old FOX HDR T2? USB transfer to HDD or USB Drive via USB ?

    Yes disappointing for many I would guess...

    If this is a deal breaker, email Humax and let them know.

    I have gone ahead and ordered the 2TB version from Amazon:
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08LFNB7X9/
    It is released on the 6th November.
