I emailed Humax last night asking about the issue and also asked about any firmware that might be upcoming, i got the following response.

Hi James

Thank you for contacting Humax, I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing with your Humax equipment. We are aware of the C4 recording issue, this has been passed on, to find the source of the issue and have it resolved, we do apologize, you will however be able to record from C4+1 for the meantime, also there is a new firmware update being formed, though no timescale of when it will be released.

Best Regards,

Colin

Same old BS from Humax then. If it takes as long as the required existing Aura fixes then wouldn't hold your breath!

Thankfully this forum shows I'm not alone! My HUMAX Aura (purchased in August) has the same problem, I thought the problem was 4 HD channel, recording from 1 minute before the hour and stopping at the hour, despite the scheduled recording showing the full hour. So made sure I set future recordings for Channel 4 standard channel, this did not cure the problem, always Channel 4 so far. So reloaded all channels tonight before reading this thread.

So will try the channel 4 plus 1 hour , how will we know when this is no longer necessary?

Did a series record of Renovation Nation and Four in a Bed, Monday, Tuesday, C4 HD, both recorded fully. Problem resolved?

I'm recording 'Somewhere boy' (6 episodes over 3 days so far). 4 episodes have recorded OK but 2 have not so it seems intermittent.

Our Freeview went completely off yesterday afternoon for about an hour, when I looked it up it said work was being done on the local transmitter, storeton I think it was. Be interesting to see if the problem is now fixed for me.

Nope wrong, had a none series Four in a Bed and series record, recorded both, but one minute of Renovation Nation with no none series record. So fix is to record both to get full info on the series, and in folder.

I've tried series record on C4+1 Renovation Nation, 1659hrs recorded 1 minute, got 2 recordings of 1 minute ( might be duplicated as I deleted series scheduled on C4 and replaced with series record C4+1)
This conflicts with HUMAX support recommending C4+1 as the solution

Not sure if member Morrig is suggesting create series record and individual recordings to ensure getting a full recording. Can you do that on the same channel or do you have to set a series record on 4HD and single episode on 4SD for example

As I've mentioned previously, the only guaranteed way to record C4HD is to set up a manual recording. Unfortunately this can't be done using the app, so no use when away on holiday.
