    Missing the point. The issue apparently is with a box above the aura but on a seperate shelf, not one underneath. Did not have a single glitch yesterday evening.

    No I am not missing the point! I hate to spoil people’s fun: but why are people obsessing about positioning of the Aura on a shelf or on top of another box? The POINT is that some Auras DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. This may be to some lack of internal shielding as I suggested. But any PVR should work in a busy household tech environment. However I think that it is up to Humax to fix these problems. When they get enough returned Auras and test them they should know why.

    Nobody disputes that it is up to Humax to fix any problems but sometimes they can be fixed quicker if users can come up with suggestions as to causes of the problem that might not be seen in a test lab environment.

    Ok. I’ve tried a selection of channels covering ARQA/B, SDN and D 3&4 and all gave breakup.

    I get occasional periods of varying signal quality on those muxes (except D3&4), but with fewer visible glitches than you might expect given the way the signal quality bounces up and down.

    So this is considered, by some, as normal SD signal quality behaviour? And my aura works fine as long as it gets a really good quality signal (e.g. 100% or as close as)? The Aura in general has sensitive tuners?

    invisible foil screen seems to be working fine. no glitches at all despite high pressure condtions.

    Is your foil to resolve picture quality issues on SD & HD channels? And your foil is on top of your aura? I don’t have anything above my aura on a higher shelf. I do have a games console and a blu ray player player on the shelf underneath the aura? If you had the my aura issue and configuration was the same would you place foil underneath the aura?

    No reason not try it. However why not simply turn them off. Neither is needed to use the aura. If this fixes it turn each one on in turn.

    The kit I have underneath is rarely on at the same time. It's a high end Panasonic 4K bluray player. I would expect the rf emissions screening to be very good.

    At the time tested the SD channels were showing 100% quality and I have my blu ray player on as I use it to get 5.1 surround sound pass through from my tv. Quality remained 100% with Bly ray player on and off so it can’t be influencing the quality. Maybe it’s just atmospheric conditions affecting SD signal quality. HD channels are fine.

    I don’t think it’s atmospheric conditions. Surely they would affect all channels? I had fluctuating signal quality only in the SD channels on my bad Aura. New Aura has no problems in the SD channels. Try another Humax PVR (if you have one) or TV on the same aerial and check the signal and quality and you will probably find it doesn’t fluctuate.
