Re: Virgin TV (2025)
In the UK there are about 30 channels on SkyQ which do NOT appear on Sky Stream.
The difference between VM linear and VM Stream is (I think just) two channels - LFCTV and MUTV.

is there a reason why sky stream dont offer them? or just they feel no one cares for the channels enough or is it some sort of extra cost with streaming them?

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.
Key features
Recording: Record live broadcast and streaming content.
Storage: Offers 1,000 hours of storage.
Tuner: Includes three tuners, allowing for recording of up to four channels at a time.
Platform: Runs on Android TV, providing access to apps from the Google Play Store.
Connectivity: Features an aerial port to bridge traditional Freeview with streaming, an Ethernet port, and Wi-Fi.
Voice Control: Includes a smart voice remote with Google Assistant for searching and controlling the device.
Compatibility: Supports 4K UHD resolution and is compatible with HDR10.
What to know about this new box
Launch: The name "Aura EZ 4K Freely Recorder" and a support page indicating support starting December 1, 2025, suggest a potential launch around the holiday season, though the exact date isn't confirmed.

Yes. Freely is a box that receives Freeview, Free satellite channels & internet delivered TV. Just noticed that it can record internet delivered content, which is a bonus for when, in years to come, DTT & satellite channels are switched off. I wonder if it can record VOD?
For any Sky etc stuff I want I'll dip in and out of streaming services.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
No date has been confirmed on the Humax freely recorder, the only freely box out now is Netgems version.
Humax haven't even named theirs yet nor said what os it'll be running.
