Humax has announced a special launch price for its Android TV powered A1 streaming box which is now available in the UK for the first time.
Available via Humax Direct and Amazon for an initial price of £59.90 (Normally £79.90), the A1 is an officially certified Android TV product which offers a host of big name apps including Netflix, Apple TV+, Prime Video and Disney+, and supports 4K Ultra High Definition streaming.
However Humax is cautioning potential buyers that the A1 doesn’t “currently” support catch-up apps iPlayer, Channel 4, My5 and ITVX.
Users can install streaming apps and games from Google Play and can also use Google’s voice assistant to search for content, get recommendations of what to watch, and control smart home devices.
Signing into their Google account also delivers recommended content tuned to the individual viewer, based on what they’ve previously rated and watched, and the inclusion of Chromecast allows them to send favourite music, photos, and videos from mobile devices to their TV.
