  It isn't true that SD being unecrypted is usual for Humax. The previous Humax Freeview HD recorders (HDR-FOX T2, HDR-2000T, HDR-1800T, FVP-4000t and FVP-5000T) all had SD content encrypted. I believe that some of the Freesat and Youview boxes don't encrypt SD.

  If you have time, could you try copying an SD recording from the drive and see if plays on another device eg a PC using VLC or your player of choice. It would be nice to find out if the SD recordings really are stored unencrypted on the Aura.

  When I am working off site I regularly use double NAT. It is better not to but the main problem is that it increases the response time a bit.

  I don't have experience with Mint but it is Debian based and I was very pleasantly surprised how easy it was to upgrade from Debian 10 to Debian 11 which reminds me I need to start thinking about upgrading to Debian 12. I think you would need to go 19 to 20 and then 20 to 21.

  The custom firmware works alongside the Humax software; it doesn't replace the Humax software. You should see a message on the front panel display when you boot the Humax which shows the custom firmware version.

  It is interesting though that Wolfbane thinks you don't need an amplifier for Rowridge VP or HP. If moving to VP doesn't fix the problem then I would suggest that you try at least temporarily to bypass the amplifier.

  Your box shouldn't be affected by the tuner issue; the boxes that were affected were more than two years old as far as I know.

  I think Dynamic IP is right if the Hub One is using DHCP but if DHCP is off then use Fixed IP address and supply the IP address of the Hub One.
