  My limited experience is that the automatic tune on the Aura does a good job and preserves the schedule of future recordings.

  What’s it worth
  
  I agree the file system wasn't very robust but for what little it is worth, I think in 6 years I only had scrambled file systems twice.

  Today's 3pm emergency alert
  
  But Apple are known to have a reasonably record at providing longer term support for their phones as opposed to a lot of suppliers of Android phones who stop operating system updates after a few years.

  Very few people I would expect but if you are going to support older smart phones wouldn't you be relying on users to download an app? As I understand it, the emergency alert system is baked into more recent Android and Apple phones so as time goes on eventually the vast majority of smartphone...

  HDR-1800T green screens after couple of seconds HDMI
  
  OK you could try a different HDMI cable or a different HDMI port on the TV but I wouldn't have high hopes. I would expect a SCART connection to work properly.

  HDR-1800T green screens after couple of seconds HDMI
  
  I wouldn't say it is common with the HDR-1800T but reported from time to time with the earlier HDR-FOX T2. Has this problem just started out of the blue or did it coincide with a change of TV (or anything else)?

  If they have had the encryption removed by copying to USB storage or capturing the DLNA stream but not if they have been download by FTP.

  You could play them from the USB device by plugging into the Aura and installing the VLC app. I think you only need the .ts file for the Aura. Which directory did you copy them to?

  Is the Aura the new HDR-FOX T2?
  
  One solution to that problem would be to use the money you saved by buying the smallest capacity PVR and buy a cheap NAS. Then copy the recordings off the box to the NAS where you can control the file structure. Admittedly not a great solution if you mainly record in HD although it is possible...

  SD content isn't encrypted, HD content can be converted on the box to a lower resolution, content can be downloaded by FTP or via a web interface or via DLNA or accessed on mobile devices via an app. Which other Humax model can do that out of the box?

  I think you want the last option in the settings "Remotes and accessories" which opens a Bluetooth pairing screen. Please let us know how you get on.
