  Skip and Fast Forward not working properly
  
  I wonder why the delay varies? Could other Aura users tell us what delay they see between initiating playback of an HD recording and the playback starting (I would define that as the counter on the timeline starting to advance). The make and model of TV would be useful as well.

  Skip and Fast Forward not working properly
  
  What I see is a significant pause on HD recordings before playback starts which I would define as picture appearing and the timeline starting to advance, about 3 seconds. So I would say playback hadn't started when I hit the FF button. Do you see a pause? My setup is Aura connected by HDMI to...

  Skip and Fast Forward not working properly
  
  Ok I recorded the Monday BBC1 News in HD. Initially I couldn't reproduce the problem because I always wait until the programme starts to play before pressing fast forward or skip buttons. However I can reproduce the problem if I use the fast forward before the programme starts to play.

  It is unfortunate that you titled the thread "Skip forward/back not working properly" when your issue seems to be with fast forward. I deleted the HD recording so I will try and remeber to have another go tomorrow.

  I would think that most Aura users will have seen this behaviour; it is clearly a bug that affects some recodings. I see it at least once a month.

  Is Aura my best choice ?
  
  It has a number of "quirks" (in my opinion because the software development was stopped too soon) that can be irritating, but I use the Aura in preference to the other Humax boxes I own because it is very responsive, will record four programmes at once and has a full set of catch up players.

  I assume by HDR 5000T you mean FVP-5000T (and the FVP-4000T) and my experience was that its subtitle playing was at the same level as the Aura.

  Two Problems While Trialling CF 1.03.12 on HDR-Fox T2
  
  Thanks. To my eyes that looks fine; to have only 13 reallocated sectors after 13 years is remarkably good. Still worth running fix-disk to see if there are any issues with the file system. In my experience the chances of losing any recordings are very small.

  Could you show the lower part of the SMART output which is where the interesting data is to be found please? The fact that the reallocated sector count has increased shows something is happening with the hard rive but the count is very low.

  Is there a forum for discussion/guidance on writing packages for the custom FW
  
  As far as I know the actual Humax source code isn't available, other than when required by open source compliance, but a small number of people have studied the machine code and have an understanding of how some of it works.
