  i do and fair number of other people I suspect. What I don't do very much is watch ITV channels live but I did see the intermittent blank screen problem on my Aura when I chose to watch the mid-week FA Cup match live for a few minutes.

  I also have the occasional duplicate but with the ability to record 4 channels simultaneously I don't consider it a significant problem and I would certainly prefer to have a duplicate rather than no recording at all.

  I don't recollect any runaway recordings with my Aura although I did experience a few with the HDR-FOX T2. Now is the time for them to speak up if they do.

  PVR9150T recordings and picture unstable.
  
  Certainly the problem wasn't reported until several years after the 9300T was released and I have always suspected it was a CODEC problem in the decoding hardware. I have never seen it reported for the earlier 9200T or any of the alter Humax boxes.

  PVR9150T recordings and picture unstable.
  
  Is there any diagnostic built into the 9xxx series? HumaxCheck by XYZ 321 is the only file system checking tool that I am aware of for the 9xxx series.

  If it is a failing drive then yes it can be changed. You want a small capacity SATA drive which are hard to find new these days.

  Installation tips for an SSD?
  
  It would be better to secure the SSD with something better than tape for long term usage. I certainly would expect it to require less cooling than a mechanical drive. If you want a short term experiment then any SSD will do as they will all have far more read and write performance than a...

  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
  
  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.
