5.0 out of 5 stars Had it for a month, no issues with basic operation
It was a slightly risky purchase having read previous reviews, but I gambled on the known issues being fixed with firmware updates. I haven't encountered any show-stopping issues thus far. My initial set-up was frustrated initially by the remote repeatedly failing to pair over bluetooth, but after a full reset and a couple of further attempts it worked out.I use the box mainly to record from Freeview channels – I make no use of the Chromecast or apps as I have all this functionality built-in to my TV – but it all seems to work from my limited testing. I have managed to connect the box to the associated Humax Aura app, but connecting the app to the box is a trainwreck. It frequently needs me to reconnect to the box using a code found within the box's menus. If I'm trying to use the app then I'm not near my box to get the code, it's frustrating as hell. When the app works, it works reasonably well but doesn't feel like a finished product.The remote is fine, it does the job. The UI on the box itself is a little confusing at first – having been built on top of Android TV it treats live TV like an app – but it's not terribly difficult to get my head around and while in Live TV mode I tend to forget that it's got the whole Android TV underneath it.I'm mollified by the fact that there have been quite a few firmware updates since most of the major bugswere reported in these reviews and I'm hoping that they continue to refine the experience as this has the potential to be a great box. At the moment it's good with the potential to be excellent. For what I bought it for, it's working just fine and earns 5 stars.
4.0 out of 5 stars A very good alternative if finances are tight.
I bought this after SKY decided to nearly double my monthly bill from £70 to £130, though I'd been thinking about it for quite a while. It is a considered purchase of course, but for me will have paid for itself after a few months. Then I am contract free and several hundred pounds better off per year. So far I am impressed with the vast majority of tasks that I have asked of it.Does it have the slickness and convenience of SKY Q? No, it doesn't, but don't let that put you off because it really isn't far off at all.I find it a tiny bit laggy on start up, and I wish it had more channels in HD, though all the main channels are available in SD and HD. SKY Q regularly dropped series links, so far this hasn't missed a beat. Fast forwarding through the ads is better as it does it in tiny chunks of video and not rapid video using the > button. Little things please me. I am unable to add Netflix, though I do have that on my smart tv, so no biggy. I'd have liked another HDMI socket, so I can access HDMI sound on my speaker.I am still getting used to it all, but one things for sure, with this piece of kit connected I have absolutely made the right decision to leave SKY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product
Great price
3.0 out of 5 stars Buggy and a unreliable
The DTV reciever is weak lots of break up even with a new aerial. Re-boots randomly and locks up quite often. Does support lots of steaming apps and has the ability to record so you can skip those annoying adds. The lack of Netflix is strange. AFAIK probably the most complete PVR on the market but let down by too many bugs.takes too long to boot up especially as this happens a lot.
4.0 out of 5 stars Impressive but still has its flaws
We purchased Hugo the Humax box (as he is now named in our house) as a replacement for Sky Q. We had been considering ditching Sky as we were using it as a tool to access apps that we also paid for - Disney+, Netflix, Bolo Prime etc. All are excellent services and we found that we weren't actually watching the sky channels so why pay for them? The Humax box was reviewed as being the best alternative to allow us to pause and play live TV using freeview+. It does this well, but there can be some glitches where the android software is struggling to keep up with what is asked of it. It sometimes glitches a little between channels and can take 40 seconds or so to boot up when turned on afresh. Is it as good as a SkyQ box? Nowhere near. Sky is fluid and sharp, the remote is far better laid out and the navigation of the system is far easier. That being said - it costs a lot and that cost is repeated every month. Sky has also mastered the "you can't use the box without the subscription", so there was no way we were able to keep it. Overall Hugo has proven to be an acceptable alternative. Ultimately, 4 months into Hugo we will be watching free TV (the cost of the box divided by our old sky subscription), so that is a win that in times of economic challenge is well worth it. Would I recomend? Yes with caution.
