Aura UHD android TV recorder November launch

[MikeSh]

The 9200 had dedicated buttons under the flap (to the left and right of the slow motion button) for skip back and forward.

Oh, yes. I remember now. We all took that cover off and put it somewhere 'safe'

If we can get access to decrypted recordings off the box then ad-detection and cropping could be done remotely and then copied back

It's only telly!

Hi, does anyone know if Now TV will be available on this box? Would be great if it is as I'll finally have a one box solution.

My 9150T had buttons under a flap. I didn't take the cover off - it broke off. And that was the sturdiest of my Humax remotes!

As the 1800T/2000T is locked down more than the FOX, and the 4000T/5000T is locked down even more than that, what makes you think Humax will allow this type of access? On the 5000T you can get decrypted StdDef recordings off the box (HiDef - I've managed to do it but it's a faff) , but you can't return the edited recordings to the box in the usual place. (Actually, you could - another faff - but without a valid .hjm file it won't work and I can't make sense of the .hjm files). What's the betting Humax will have made this more difficult - or even impossible.

All we know is the same as you can look up.

Lets hope that they have given more thought to its design than in their choice of name.

And as some members on other sites are having difficulty finding the equivalent EPG snapshot ...

Good look!

To what I wonder?

Also Monday 22nd. April (2019) seems a long time ago for this new product

From the review it would appear the American version is sold without internal hard drive, but with a silly indoor aerial and uses Kodi as its principal media interface.

Not a PVR then, just an STB with on-demand capability.

Obviously, that version is nothing to do with the Humax Aura.

 

[Black Hole]

Fake news then.

I keep touching that part of the screen (post #28) on my tablet but nothing happens

So likely an accurate representation of the actual Humax app.

Yes obviously, I just found it odd that Humax had given their new product the same name as a preexisting Android TV device.

 

[EEPhil]

Good look!

You say that, but those images (post #28) are nearly the same as those for the FVP 5000T (the added coloured buttons etc as a bottom menu is a bonus). Given how well the 5000T works - I think you mean "good luck!"

 

[Steppy]

From the photos it doesn't look as though there is an option to move recordings into a "keep' area which is a shame as I know the Manhattan T3-R has that feature. I nearly pulled the trigger on one of those until I read about the Aura as I was willing to sacrifice the 3rd tuner for a machine that had a much speedier interface.

Looks like a good machine and good to see they are using the coloured Kays again.

Thought about putting in a pre-order, but I think I will wait for hands-on reviews before I do that.
