Humax AuraFixdit - 25 mins ago »
Received mine 1 hour ago from RS. Easy to set up, make sure you use a correct spec HDMI lead, and the batteries in the right way round (since when has black been positive !) fairly quick, first big fail
BBC iplayer does not work. Other players do You tube 4K great. Lots of options in setup.
Iam going to play now
Any sign of being able to move recordings into an 'archive' area?
I was surprised to read from the review that it has a fan.... have you heard it, is it noisy?

Just read that T3 review, which do they list no netflix at launch as a negative? Surely you would just download it from the play store if you want it, then you have it right away? lol
Depends on what credentials the box has and how it is recognized by Google Play Store. Having access to the "full Play Store" still only means that certain apps are available not all apps.

Before I part with my hard earned cash I want to know if the Aura's picture quality is going to be better than the 5000T. Which was abysmal.
My 5000T has a superb picture when using a HD source on my 55" LG 4K Oled. I do think the HDR-1000S is a tiny bit better.

I wonder if there is a list available somewhere as I would be interested to see if Rightmove is available as I used to like using that on my Samsung TV smart hub but then it was not supported anymore.
It all depends on how "locked down" the Android OS is on the device. If full access to the settings menu is possible, it will hopefully be possible to sideload apps via USB or from alternative sources such as Aptoide.
The blurb did say 5000+ apps so I can't imagine that's overly locked down. As to the T3 review I don't use Netflix (could cast if I wanted off an iPad) and I think the design looks quite premium, it's certainly better than the all gloss black 5000T and other recent Humax offerings.
I think my main hope is that the apps TiVimate and MX Player work along with the Plex server and client. I want to be able to connect a 4tb external hard drive accessed by Plex.

Considering that there are over 2.7 million apps on the Play Store, 5000 isn't very many. So I would guess it is substantially hobbled.
The Play store for android mobile which contains 2.7 million apps is not the same as the play store available on android TV. The android TV play store which is available on the Nvidia shield (which is the premier android TV box) contains around 7000 apps, many of which are games. So if the blurb mentions 5000+ apps, I would imagine the vast majority of the play store is available.

In other words, substantially hobbled.
