Humax's new box for 2025 is the Aura EZ 4K Freely Recorder, a hybrid Freely device that combines live TV recording with streaming app support via Android TV. It is expected to launch around December 1, 2025, and will feature 1,000 hours of storage and the ability to record four channels at once. This differs from older models and other Freely boxes, which do not have recording capabilities.
