  Recording stuff twice
  
  I see it happening very occasionally; but not enough to worry me. Try http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/page/index.html where 192.168.xxx.xxx is the full IP address of your Aura. You can also use DLNA if the TV supports it, if in Settings > Record and Share you scroll down and turn on the Network...

  Replacing hard disk
  
  I suspect that is a reference to the HB-1100S that should have been deleted in the HDR-1100S manual. Anyway try it and see.

  It won't work on one of the Humax Freesat boxes. As far as I know , the USB port is only useful for software updates..

  Can you describe the symptoms of the hard drive problem i.e. what do you mean by flaky?

  Aura Not Playing Recordings
  
  There is more than one factory reset options on the Aura; at least one of the options claims not to delete recordings. A cautious person would copy the important recording off by FTP before doing a reset.

  What To Do with a Dead or Unwanted HDR-FOX, HD-FOX, or DTR-T1000/1010

  2000t stuck in reboot loop
  
  To me this sounds similar to a boot problem on the HDR-FOX T2 which was traced to a capacitor going out of spec. It is a long thread to read but a solution was found see https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/start-up-fails-when-hdd-connected.10164/

  Bad remote???
  
  They have two remotes for the FVP-5000T; did you buy the genuine Humax remote or the slightly cheaper one labelled as a "replacement remote"?

  My advice would be to disconnect the hard drive and see if it boots. IF it is a file system issue then it could be recovered by connecting it to a computer using Linux and using the file system repair tools.

  In what way do you want to control the Aura? There is an app available for Android and Apple phones that allows you to view the programme guide and set recordings and a few other things.

  System Flush Finally Fixes Developing Problems While Trialling CF
  
  As far as I know the firmware resides entirely in flash. I think you will find that you can install the standard firmware with the hard drive disconnected; I don't recollect actually doing it on an HDR-FOX T2 but I have certainly done it multiple times on earlier Humax models.

  That is exactly how the standard firmware works as I understand it with all the software in flash RAM. The custom firmware must put some some software on the HDD because there is not enough storage on the motherboard.
