  Persistent Pixelation on Playback
  
  This is digital TV, the picture quality shouldn't be influenced by the signal strength providing it is neither too high nor too low. I would suggest a signal strength between 50% and 90% will result in the same picture quality.

  HDR-1800T record/playback problems.
  
  I think they share the same circuit board and the differences are small. The 1800-T has one USB port, the HDR-2000T has two USB ports. The remote controls are different. The 1800-T uses a 2.5" hard drive, the 2000T uses a 3.5" hard drive. The cases are different colours. In summary they are...

  I suspect this is a problem with the Humax server; best thing to do with this sort of problem is to wait for a couple of days. You could try contacting Humax support.

  It should see the drive and offer to format irrespective of the current format (or lack of format for a brand new disk).

  The Aura Android update.
  
  It varied a bit but was usually within a month of the end of the beta test. I don't know. A guess would be that it took Humax much longer than they expected to produce software that was deemed worth beta testing.

  Humax FHR-6000T Will this need its own listing in the forum?
  
  I have a suspicion that the people who are seeing an improvement from a higher wattage power supply are seeing the benefit because they have USB devices attached to the Aura. I was going to try the swap but my FVP-5000T power supply is the same wattage as the standard Aura supply.

  My Aura is silent in standby (note that my hearing isn't great) but it does take several minutes to become silent.
