I’ve noticed this past week all the “Great!” Channels have stopped working. They work for the first 5 - 10 seconds the the screen goes blank except for a red dot and “Great player” showing.
I’ve done a factory reset and retune of channels but that didn’t fix it.
Anyone else encountering this ?
My Aura does the same. Clearly a fault introduced by Great, or a cynical method of forcing people to their player.
Only solutions I've found so far.
1) Disconnect the Aura from the internet. I did this and the channels worked.
2) Either quickly press record or set a timer for the channel. Then watch the recording back a minute or so later.

Thanks option 2 seems like the easier option to try….i don’t fancy unplugging the Ethernet cable every time.

Or Use wifi and switch it on and off
My Aura does a similar thing. The PIP in the guide is fine but going to the main screen it goes blank for a time then recovers for a bit - repeating this until I give up and watch another channel!
Good evening! I have just got a humax aura 2tb, and we are having exactly this problem with Great! Action channel. By accident, I think we have found a sort of fix for this. When the screen goes black, press the red button on the control to open Great Movies. When you exit it,you go back to a black screen, but after a few seconds the film then shows up. I will report back if I find this stops working.
I'm having exactly the same issue! The only way I've found of getting round it is to actually just record the entire programme and then watch it back later! It's just so frustrating....

Tried this evening and you’re right. It works, loading the app then exiting gets back to the film.
