Quick delivery - easy to set up - more than an adequate number of programs for my use. The only downside is MY TV. Although able to receive Freeview as a "Stand alone" set with my new rooftop aerial, it is old and needed the Freeview box for decent reception. I am more than happy with my Freeview box and would recommend it to anyone considering the change from cable, satellite etc

Good Point Refurbished product at reasonable price and had the appearance of brand new, came with cables and remote. Bad points. Very poor selection of apps and ironically possibly 2 of the most popular apps, ITV Hub (ITVX) and Prime is not available, surely a refurbished product could have appropriate security/software and firmware update

I bought the refurbished as I thought it would be just as good as a new one and maybe it is. However it says it is updated with the latest update and it wasn't. It didn't come with the HDMI cable which it should have. When watching catchup through thebbox it changes the contrast of the picture so everyone looks like David Dickinson (orange) and the app doesn't work to support it. They are obviously focusing on the new Aura box and don't care about customers using older equipment. I've always though highly of Humax but this has changed my mind.
