I don't regard the Aura has having poor tuner strength. In what way are you expecting recording quality to improve with signal strength? With digital transmission it should either work or not work with only a very narrow window between the two where you may get some problems. Have you considered things like whether the aerial is the most efficient and is thr cabling in good condition?
I've got a couple of other tuners (HDHomerun devices) on the same aerial and they both get much better picture quality, without pixelation or dropping.
And I know a lot of others on this forum have complained about the tuner strength on the Aura compared to similar boxes (Humax and otherwise).
Anyway after leaving it for a while and then restarting it again, the drive is now visible. The box still sees the recordings on it, but can't play them (as the drive has been formatted, I assume the UI just hasn't kept up with the actual drive content).
Will keep an eye on it and see what happens, but it's perhaps another nail in the coffin of the device if it's slowly dying. If it does go again I might try the factory reset, but this is feeling more like a hardware issue than a software one.
It also lost its ethernet connection at the same time, which is making me wonder more if it's something on the motherboard overheating or similar and the drive is OK just can't be reliably connected to.
