  I think support for SMB1 is still available on recent versions of Debian but it is not active by default. Try editing smb.conf to add client min protocol = NT1

  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.

  Yes. In section 4.3 of the user manual (I assume you have a copy of the user manual) on page16 it shows the fields that need to be completed if using a static IP address on the Hub One. You would give the IP address of the Hub One, mask would be 255.255.255.0, Gateway would again be the IP...

  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.

  I have used an attenuator with other Humax boxes without problem but not needed to try on an Aura. When did you buy this Aura? There were some problems with early production Aura that was traced to an out of tolerance component in the tuning circuitry and Humax swapped out the boxes.

  You can control the AX55 by connecting to it directly with a browser. The remote interface is optional. What limitation do you think the AX55 has?

  It might be; the only way to find out is to use a variable attenuator to reduce the signal strength and see what happens. My reading of what I have seen posted about the Aura is that it is less sensitive which would make sense as the HDR-FOX T2 is a pre DSO design and the Aura is a post DSO design.
