Aura keeps jumping out of playback

Personally I don’t do that anymore as I prefer to start with a clean slate in case something that I back up is the issue.

Not my preferred way of backing up the schedule, and for the same reason. Either pen and paper or photograph the schedule.

Can't see anything in the backup file that could cause problems when restoring - but with Humax you never know. I have had occasions when duplicate schedule or duplicate recordings have been listed. Then there have been failed recordings for no good reason - one possibility could have been restoring a backup.

It works a lot better with the new software than it used to. I just wish they would make the software generally available.

Have they given you a reason why it is not generally available?

From what I remember Humax said at the time of launch they would support the Aura through software/ firmware updates for 7 years
The Aura went on sale in November 2020, so next year is when they drop support.

The last major update was in August 2021.

There have been incremental updates to fix blank screen and audio issues on a few channels since then
but nothing to address the many bugs and irritations that the Aura presents us with.

The rumours regarding the anticipated update started around Oct/ November 2024 but nothing has happened 2 years on.

I am beginning to wonder if Humax are maybe going to drag their feet for another year when they will be under no obligation to support the Aura.

No reason given. They have put a lot of work into the new software and there must be a reason for doing it. The only thing that occurs to me is that they are might be intending to relaunch the Aura as they have done previously with other models NB this is pure speculation by me.

Finally after endless prodding and provoking you spill some tea :). How did you receive the update? is it something you could copy and make available to others?

Unlikely, it was probably the same method used in the beta testing for the last mini-update. Didn't you have to provide the box serial number and perform some little tricks to download the update from Humax servers?
