I had significant signal issues with my 5000T and had to put a variable attenuator in to throttle it back, as a result I never had consistent signal quality on the lower power LOC and COM7 channels.
I was dreading sorting similar issues with the Aura but it was just plug an go and in nearly two weeks I've not seen the quality drop from 100% on LOC and COM7. Both the 5000T and Aura are on the same feed with a splitter, the attenuator sits between the splitter and the 5000T.
Comparing signal figures directly between the 5000T and Aura is a bit subjective as we don't know how the percentages are arrived at, it may differ between platforms.
The only signal related bug on the Aura I have found is the signal strength screen only shows Tuner 1 no matter how many are in use. I have reported this to Humax support as it should show all 3 like on the 5000T.
On the picture front I am still watching from both boxes on a 40" 4K TV and think they are at least comparable.
Overall I am very happy with the Aura, especially the speed and quality of the interface. I'm sure Humax will fix the niggles as its their flagship box, so hopefully usability should only improve.
