  Aura UHD android TV recorder November launch
  
  Hmmm....this looks like the closest thing yet to tempt me away from the HDR-Fox T2: https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/humaxs-aura-the-first-android-4k-hdr-freeview-play-pvr-4104564 No ad skipping of course, but most of the other features that I want/need seem to be there. Any views?

  Current_Pending_Sector/Offline_Uncorrectable errors - will fix-disk help?
  
  So I just installed the new 2TB drive, and reinstalled the full web IF. The first time I accessed the web IF I got this warning. The drive was bought as new from Amazon - a Seagate ST2000VM003. Do I need to return the drive?

  Not sure how to go about checking the cache directory??? I tried fixdisk without the -y, and wasn't offered the option to ignore fixing block #52457724 - it "cleared" it without asking, then aborted with the memory allocation failure, as usual.

  Current_Pending_Sector/Offline_Uncorrectable errors - will fix-disk help?
  
  So I seem to have hit a dead end - I have run fixdisk -2 -P -y several times now, and the last 3 times it has reported the same illegal block (#52467724) before hitting the memory allocation error and aborting. It is not currently reporting any other illegal blocks before aborting. Any advice...

  No probs. So it should have been E2FSCK_CONFIG=/var/lib/humaxtv_backup/mod/e2fsck.conf tmenu ? If so, still no luck - I just tried that and got the "Memory allocation failed" error again:

  Thanks - I'll try that. In the meantime it reported a loss of the TV signal again - "The receiver is not receiving a signal or the signal is too weak". Signal strength and signal quality were both reported as 0%. The signal returned when I did a hard reboot.
