Some kind of update happened today on mine.. You can now add items to play next manually.. Will come in handy, a bit like the Chromecast with Google TV watchlist. Just waiting for other updates to download and install
Sorry but you’re comments are very vague to me. Can you give give more details as to what you are referring to please, or steps to follow? Is it to watch recordings or something else? I’ve checked my firmware and it has not been updated.
I rang Humax again today and asked about the update that was supposed to have arrived weeks ago. It’s now happening in January and will launch with the app at the same time.....or so they say!
I've just bought the Aura box. It is excellent but one thing is annoying me.
I have paired the remote control with my LG tv. I can turn the TV on and off using the remote and click the little av button to choose the av input. All fine.
The only problem I really have is when using the volume buttons, it still only changes the volume on the Freeview box, not the TV. I had an older freeview box that had a TV button which when clicked would switch the remote control to operate the tv.
There doesn't seem to be a way of doing it on the remote control unless I am missing it.
Is there any way to switch the new remote control between TV and the box. I always use the volume control to control the volume of the tv, not the freeview box.

Hi, it looks like it has been updated to the version everyone else was on so for example the feature to have separate skip/replay durations now appears. So my box has updated itself to the most recent version that everyone had. I didn't click update, a notification just appeared saying apps need updating, over of those was the Freeview play app. The play next feature only used to display confine watching from plex and prime. It now displays titles from other services including half watched TV recordings. It also has the ability to remove or add specific titles.

I would prefer this too but seems to need a firmware update to allow the option in settings to toggle between TV/box/reciever etc

I prefer the way that the volume control on the RM-C01 currently works. I have a volume control on my TV remote control, this allows me to adjust the volume of my TV.
Yes but it would be handy to be able to control the volume on the TV from one control which is pretty much how all previous humax boxes work

Well push came to shove.
Got fed up of the occasional intermittent video/audio freeze and flicker. So box is being swapped out next week, hopefully before Christmas Day. Then we see if the problem resumes...
Swap never happened. CS now blaming tier 4 for not delivering. Excuse me, Post Office, Amazon and a few others are delivering across tier boundaries. Now most of us are in tier 4, should no longer be a problem, should it?

Only when viewing SD content. I take it you are going back to a pvr not Freeview-HD capable. Like say a 8000T.
Freeview-HD on HD channels uses a newer AAC audio codec that means you cannot control the volume at source. It only works if you only use SD channels, which kind of makes it a waste of time buying a HD capable unit.
You can set a newer box to recode aac to the same audio used on SD channels which is the best option if you do not have the capability to use 5.1 surround sound.
This will make it work just like the older boxes.
Just change the audio out option on a Aura from surround to stereo.
Hi I am new to the Forum but been using Humax boxes since they started.
Just received an Aura today and totally baffled. Cannot got audio on anything and no live freeview at all. Can just get visuals on the internet feed.
Says it found all the expected channels and the TV which is using a pass through signal from from the Aura is working fine.
Tried resets and all sorts.
Perhaps I have a broken PVR?
