I have a 1Tb 4000T and mainly use it to watch Netflix and a small amount of recorded TV.
My only issue with the 4000T is that it is very slow with button presses.
Do you think I would benefit from getting an Aura ?

I had the email last night. I thought it was triggered because I looked at it earlier in the day, but it seems not.
I have been watching this Forum so carefully and have been dithering whether to take the plunge or not, but thought at £199 it was a no brainer to replace my FVP4000T..... it's due tomorrow hopefully.
It will be interesting to see if I get any of the signal issue problems that some people seem to have. Currently for all it's dreadfully slow interface, my 4000 has ben flawless with regard to recordings and has never missed a recording..... time will tell.
Think I will run them side by side to start with to see how they compare.

I received the same offer email from Humax, I also decided to take the plunge and ordered one this morning. Hopefully, it will load and display the channel information (TV Guide) better than the old FVP5000T.

Well compared to my Humax T2 it’s much faster

Agreed, it's blazingly fast compared to my 4000.
So many settings to look at, just trying to get the TV, Humax and Home Cinema to turn on/off with one click now....

I've ordered one too after having the offer email. I'm currently using a Manhattan T2R (I think that is the correct model number!) and it has an annoying software quirk that causes it to cancel (often totally) programmes that may not have clashed when first scheduled as a series link, but later do overlap due to shifting timing (Grand Prix highlights for example). The Manhattan makes no attempt to re-shedule nor to provide any clash warning to allow me to re-schedule. It also has an odd habit of not recording on Thursdays. Other days of the week seem fine, but on Thursdays there is a 25% chance that a recording may not happen!
I have been thinking of an Aura for some time so the offer did prompt me to take the plunge. I've had a few Humax recorders and mostly liked them, the 8000T, 9000T and 9200T were great. A friend had a later one (I can't recall which) and had a huge load of problems with it and this put me off when the 9200T finally needed to be replaced so I had a DigitalStream which was great, that being replaced by the Manhattan.
The Manhattan has been superb up until the last few months, I'm hoping the extra recording capabilities of the Aura (four channels as opposed to just two) will cure most of the scheduling problems that are plaguing the Manhattan.

Thanks to @Tigerfan11
Without your initial post I wouldn't have known about this code and would have paid £50 more for my Aura, ordered after my old Foxsat HDR expired last Saturday.
