Unreliable
Do not buy, recording option is not reliable. Despite system showing recordings are set, they are not recorded. Also buyer should be aware that this records Freeview only, Freely is not recordable. It does upscale to 4K HDR very well but again on Freely only. There clearly system glitches and in my humble opinion HUMAX should not have marketed this product yet. If you return the item make sure you have contacted HUMAX support (preferably by email) and obtained a return code. Argos will NOT accept a return until this is done! I have 2 HUMAX boxes now over 10 years old which still work very well so very disappointed with this product. However, I will purchase in the future once glitches are known to have been corrected until then AVOID.

Wouldn't recommend
Bought 3 weeks ago. Nothing like the same as my previous 2 humax recording boxes. On the TV programme guide, you can't scroll though on day by day basis, you have to literally scroll through the whole of each days programmes to get to where you want. It also recorded every programme twice. On the recoding list you cant click on a recorded programme to see which episode it it. You have you literally to play it to see the details. Then after a week it started to freeze after watching a recording. Black screen, nothing worked. Had to switch off at the wall socket. Then wait for it to reboot so I missed parts of things I was waiting to watch. There's no rewind live TV like on my last one. Frozen screen happened more and more so I returned it to store and did receive a full refund as it was under 30 days old and faulty. I bought a different brand this time.

Returned as not any good
Returned. Couldn't record BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, Channel 4 or Channel 5. All other Freeview chanles recorded. As it lists "pause live TV" as a feature I expected that it would actually do that. Returned and bought a Manhattan PVR instead

Disappointed
It is not a freely recorder box. You have to have it connected to an aerial to record and this is not obvious in the description as it only list the connections as hdmi and ethernet. Argos wouldn't allow a return.

Don’t waste your money
It took a whole morning to set up. The box freezes up while watching with no way to get it working again, no option but to reset factory settings, which means setting up all over again. Then we put it on standby while we went out and on return again found it was frozen and again had to reset the factory settings and set up again. The following morning it was not working again. Have given up and gone back to using my old Freesat box. Very sorry that I wasted £249.99 on this box, I can only assume that the reviews talking the product up were fake.

freely humax
bought this unit to upgrade to freely unfortunetly had problems with setting up got through set up every thing seemed ok following day switched on and had an error code phoned help line and told to reset to factory condition complete install again folowing day switched on had a different error code phoned help line and told to return unit and get refund when it was working a good piece of kit but i suspect the soft ware has not been debugged and is not quite ready otherwise a clever bit of kit will wait for the software to be debugged and nay purchase a later model.

Disappointed
As a Humax Aura user I expected this to be an upgrade. It wasn't, it was more of an alternative. The freely part works as It should. All channels present and in the right order. Not as much lag as I was expecting and a good picture. The terrestrial channels are not for watching. They are for recording only. The terrestrial channel order was curious. 1 2 4 and 5 were where you expect them to be but ITV1 was channel 33. Although it uses Android TV no other apps are available. Does what it's supposed to do well but it's not for me. Returned for refund.
