  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.

  PVR9150T recordings and picture unstable.
  
  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.

  I don't think so; I think you need a utility that you can download from the Seagate web site.

  You will need to reduce the SATA speed to get it to work in a FOXSAT.

  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
  
  What I see is a significant pause on HD recordings before playback starts which I would define as picture appearing and the timeline starting to advance, about 3 seconds. So I would say playback hadn't started when I hit the FF button. Do you see a pause? My setup is Aura connected by HDMI to...

  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.

  I would think that most Aura users will have seen this behaviour; it is clearly a bug that affects some recodings. I see it at least once a month.
