Humax has announced the Humax Aura EZ 4K TV Recorder with Freely is to be available for pre-order from authorised Humax retailers from 12 February at a suggested retail price of £249.

Designed to be extremely easy to set up, users can simply plug in Aura EZ and enjoy thousands of hours of live and on-demand TV – all ready to watch in minutes.

When connected to an aerial*, this new Humax device enables viewers to record up to four channels while watching a fifth channel live, ensuring they never miss their favourite shows, movies or series.

To schedule a recording**, a quick press of the Menu button on the remote control reveals the seven-day TV guide, allowing the desired programmes to be selected for recording – swiftly and seamlessly.

A generous 2TB hard drive stores up to 1,000 hours of content, providing families with plenty of room for all their entertainment needs.

Furthermore, the Humax Aura EZ supports 4K HDR picture quality with Dolby Digital Plus sound, delivering an immersive viewing experience.

For added flexibility in the future, the Humax Aura EZ app*** will make it simple for Aura EZ owners to navigate, plan and schedule recordings remotely from anywhere, so the shows and movies they love most will always be available to watch – even on the go.
