I realise that everyone is too busy playing with the apps to watch any TV channels, but does anyone else have a problem with Channel 5 HD. The sound is coming and going and the picture freezing or going blank (black screen). The signal is 100% for strength and quality. I have tried on two TVs (Sony and Samsung) and two HDMI cables.

Hi all!
Got my Humax Aura yesterday and set up - overall please and seems to be working well!
One thing I am struggling with is the volume control to my TV - I have a Samsung TV with an attached soundbar via ARC, and enabled HDMI-CEC on the TV and the Humax, but when I mute or do V+/- on the Humax remote, it is just altering the volume of the Humax box. In the manual it says it can change volume via HDMI-CEC, so is anyone having any luck with that?Thanks!

No, me neither. Volume control is a real issue - I have a Samsung Soundbar on my LG TV with optical connection. I have to set the soundbar volume quite high to hear anything via the Humax - if I switch to the TV to watch Netflix, neighbours 3 doors away would be able to hear it as the volume suddenly goes high. Volume control on the Humax does NOT feed through.
Doesn't matter if I use optical from the Humax or HDMI-CEC, same issue occurs. I also have had to turn off "sound surround" and switch to "stereo" on the Humax in order to get anything like a listenable volume from the box.

BBC iPlayer is now working via the official one on the box, including from guide and freeview play.

Does this box have a dlna server or can one be installed to allow viewing of recordings on a tv in a different room?

Will reach out to Humax to see if they can advise anything, as frustrating as had working with the old BT YouView box!

Have any of these problems been reported to Humax? Based on what I've been reading here, it seems like this box is one to avoid for now -- typical early adopter pain.

BBC iPlayer is now working via the official one on the box, including from guide and freeview play.Well, it loads for me but when I select a program to watch it reports "Something went wrong loading this programme. This is usually a temporary problem. You can try this programme again or try a different programme"
Error code shown : 02001
No program will load via iPlayer, nor does the green "start from beginning" work.
Almost there . . . . .
