Hello, I’ve had a Humax FVP5000T for a number of years and been extremely happy with it. I was however very disappointed when we lost the ITV hub last year. I need to replace it as it has been written off by Currys. I’m considering what I can replace it with. I want to be able to record and watch both Netflix and the ITV hub. The only options I’ve come up with is to either go for another FVP5000T plus a TV Stick for ITV Hub, or the HUMAX Aura Android with a TV Stick for Netflix. I would welcome any feedback on what would be the best choice for me. I would also welcome recommendations on what TV Stick I should go for in order to be able to watch either Netflix or the ITV Hub. Thank-you.
Hi Tvfan01,
welcome to the Humax forum. I’m very surprised that the Humax FVP5000T doesn’t update to ITVX. I don’t have this model, but I would have thought it would update somehow. Maybe if you do a reboot/factory reset it might install itvX? Not sure.
With regards USB Sticks, I use an Amazon Firestick 4K & managed to purchase one during Amazon’s Primeday half price sale for around £25. You sign up for Prime for 30 days & then cancel before end of trial, but get items cheaper in meantime. The Firestick is more reliable, has loads of Apps, but you do get adverts across the Apps.

Many thanks for your feedback. I have checked with Humax and it appears the only Humax Freeview recorder that support ITVX is the HUMAX Aura Android.

No, the 4000T/5000T will not be supporting the new(ish) ITVx.
See this from November 2022:

They are specifically mentioned about halfway down the fairly long page under the headline “Devices And Smarts TVs That Won’t Get ITVX:“.
