  5 seconds video/audio playback dropouts
  
  My T2 (running custom FW) is frequently suffering from 4-5 second video and audio dropouts during playback. If I skip back and replay the segment there is no problem. This happens multiple times pretty much every day. The Humax is connected to the TV (an LG 65" C2) via HDMI. The disk diag screen...

  What To Do with a Dead or Unwanted HDR-FOX, HD-FOX, or DTR-T1000/1010
  
  Presumably there's no way to do ad-skipping on the Aura, other than configuring the forward skip to 4 minutes?

  As a matter of interest, how are you getting on with the Aura? My Fox T2 still has its annoying little glitches so I've been thinking about an Aura for a while.

  Thanks for that. /mnt/hd3 only contains maintenance.boot.log, which doesn't contain the fixdisk output. The other locations listed don't appear to have it either. Maybe it's not persisted??

  We've started getting brief "blackouts" while playing back recordings on our new LG OLED65C224LA TV. The screen goes blank (black) and audio stops for 3-4 seconds during playback of recordings before resuming. If we rewind the section of the recording it plays back fine. The Humax is connected...

  Yes those other symptoms are very familiar (frozen video, sound continuing). I'd say we power cycle the Humax at least 3-4 times a week for that sort of thing.

  It's an intermittent problem (hasn't happened for 2 days now), so I suspect that changing video formats may not be an appropriate solution. I also get the sound dropouts. Every time something like this happens I have another look at the Aura reviews.....

  I'd like to run dvrontime on a machine that doesn't need to run 24/7. Obviously it would need to be "awake" to access the UI, but will it wake the host machine from sleep mode to make scheduled recordings?
