Update on my Aura box . . . I have overcome the problem with the Samsung TV locking up by disabling any CEC settings on the Aura box. Still get the blank LIVE screen but can overcome this by the route suggested of Home screen then Live TV at the top line, NOT by using the Live TV button. Loss of picture on some channels was overcome by juggling with different values of aerial attenuators, 6dB seemed to work best. IR interaction was cured by sticking black tape over the Aura remote IR emitter at the end and putting black tape over the Aura box receiver window, this stops the Humax YouView box from being activated by the Aura remote, I cant imagine why Humax didnt realise this would be a problem. Looking forward to the software update . . . .

Yes thanks Barry I did try that initially but subsequent presses of the Aura remote, despite being on Bluetooth, still activate the IR as well, sending the YouView Box into various menus etc. An ongoing saga unfortunately, but thank you

Thanks for the update.
Hopefully the next software update will enable us to set remote to different codes as per other Humax units

Has anybody else had a problem with a random programme not being listed on the EPG? I wanted to record something last night at 8. It was listed on the +1 at 9 and was listed on the HD channel but the SD channel just had a blank box at 8 and the Aura would not let me record that. This is the second time this has happened where a random programme does not show on the EPG but everything else is populated.

Not enough info otherwise. Why did you not record the HD channel ?

I received a new Aura box two days ago to replace my Humax Youview box which has been playing up. So far, I am impressed with the speed and facilities, a big improvement on thje Youview box.
However, I use my elderly B&O audio system for sound output and this does not have SPDIF input so I obtained a Digital to analogue converter. This does not work on the Aura but works fine with the Youview box SPDIF output.
When I contacted Humax support, I was told that this was because the Aura had an updated SPDIF interface so I asked for a definition of the interface in order to obtain a converter of the correct spec and was told to look on the website and the call was terminated.
Having searched the website, I can't find any specification for this interface. Searching the internet, I can't find any reference to an updated SPDIF interface which postdates the introdiuction of the Youview box.
Can anyone throw any light on this problem or is the SPDIF interface on the Aura possibly faulty?Not actually used this but you can send it back if it does not work.

The problem with the SPDIF to analogue converter was that it only accepts PCM input which isn't an output option on the Aura. The input format wasn't mentioned in the spec when I bought it, I found it out when I located a support line number. Nearly all the converters that I came across when searching are the same except one which was considerably more expensive.
Hence the HDMI splitter seems to be the easiest option if anyone wants analogue output from their Aura box.
