Great! Channels stop working

One thing I have realised about Humax boxes (and probably most people on here know this too!) is that they are totally quirky. My parents had one years ago, and kept thinking it was going wrong, but it wasn’t, it was just badly behaved. Then they got a new one a year or two back, and that too has its quirks. When we got this aura 2tb recently, I said to my other half that it will probably do weird things, and sure enough it does! I have just managed to set up the Aura app so I can set recordings etc, and that was just bizarre too. Still, weird as it is, I would still rather have Humax than Virgin, which we shall be leaving soon!

Humax HDR Fox T-2 was good and the software could been customised by users ( reprogrammed )

I don't think reprogrammed is the correct terminology. The existing Humax software remains in place and continues to provide the existing functionality. The custom firmware sits alongside it and adds extra functionality.

I'm seeing this problem too. But I think it now only affects some great! Channels. Examples, movies works, action doesn't. I get the black screen on action and pressing red doesn't start the (not so) great app.

I think the great app is just not launching properly on the action channel. On the movies channel I no longer get the prompt to start the app with the red button.

None of this is an issue on TVs, just then Humax aura. Of course

When the picture goes black, key in the channel number.

Ah that is the fix, key in the channel number if it goes back. Thank you.

I never get the red button option coming up so it must be having a problem loading. But on my LG Tv that red button option loads with no problem.
