Your iPlayer issue may be just that, an iPlayer issue.
Do you have TV with iPlayer on it so you can compare and see if the issue only happens on the Aura.
If you read the pages here you will see that the Aura does indeed suffer from many bugs/ anomalies, mysterious behaviours etc.
Humax rushed the Aura out in late 2020 and it was not really ready.
Humax did set up a Beta testing programme and several updates were released to combat several issues, the last major update was released in August 2021, but some issues were never resolved.
Some small incremental updates have been released for the Freeview app, for a fault which seemingly only the Aura suffers and not any other TVs or other manufacturers PVRs.
There is a much rumoured update coming (at the last count, this summer), although we don't know exactly what it will contain, most believe it is an update to the Android system which if true will take the Aura to Android 12.
Thats all very well but for me I don't think updating the Android system will do anything to address the issues which are more directly related to the Humax operating system.
Being a participant in these pages I feel I have got one of the slightly better behaved Auras out there, although it does decide to reboot itself randomly, sometimes just a soft reboot, sometimes a full power down and then power up. It doesn't do it every day but sometimes it will do it several times in succession, so it gets unplugged for 5 minutes and that 'cures' it for a while.
Occasionally while watching TV or a recording it will decide to interrupt and show me the Apps screen.
Every so often it will decide that making one recording of a programme is not enough so it will make a duplicate.
Have a flick through the pages here and decide if you want to keep the Aura or get your money back.
