Parrot.

Are you not aware of what the "T2" designation means? It is not arbitrary.

The fuse in a UK mains plug is there to prevent over-current from setting fire to the cable, and has little to do with protecting the equipment itself. The equipment should be fitted with its own internal protection (fuse, PTC thermistor, whatever). The key factor in determining the maximum...

Fair enough.

I suspect the app does not connect to the Aura directly, but both the app and the Aura connect to a central Humax server and communicate that way. If so, it is irrelevant that they are both on the same network, what is necssary is that they both have access to the server.

What kind of chimera is a "Foxsat T2"??!

It's down to 5+84 now.

The relevant Wiki page is not explicit on this point (quelle surprise). However, from af123's original IR post:

Yes. Nor how to read up about them?: https://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Diagnostic_Utilities

I'll take that as meaning "T2" (but then just T2 could mean any of several)! I have a couple of cast-off HDR-1000S's going for a song, VGC so far as I can tell.

I think that's pretty conclusive: the OP's problem is at Humax Towers and not with his specific Aura or how he's using it.

Yes, the HDD's self-repair mechanism should map out defective sectors. The result is transparent to the user or the operating system, apart from the statistics provided in the SMART data.

The HDR-FOX has (or had) several "features" whereby the EPG data becomes stale if the unit is only recording from standby, or if it is permanently on and stuck on one service. It seems possible the Aura has similar peculiarities.

One wonders what use any of those could be (apart from rebooting), if you didn't think this was to do with the CF! The only thing which might help is the system flush (see "supporting files"), which is not a CF thing (or at least is independent of having CF installed). Is that just losing the...

Repackaging is quick. You wouldn't need to re-encode.
