Another day. Simple DIY hidden foil screen has worked. Not a flicker on any live TV or recordings.Might be a daft question Graham, but are you in contact with anyone at Humax Towers who are aware of your findings?
If a DIY fix does the trick it might mean Humax engineering a solution could be an option.
When you say tin foil, excuse my ignorance but it's not the stuff you put round a turkey before it goes in the oven is it, cause I've got plenty of that.
Still doesn't explain though why swapping a unit would cure the problem for some if a modification to the internals on more recent produced units hasn't taken place.
Time will tell I suppose..
As far as my (unmodded) unit is concerned, a few "ghost" pixelation events on BBC2 HD 'live' on the cricket and a pixelation fest on the recording of The Pact from BBC1 HD last night, with about 10 separate events over an hour
Not good, but ultimately the ball is in the Humax court..
Yes why does swapping a unit solve the problem (as in my case)? I assumed some early Aura had shown later to have defects in production and somehow got through quality control or were internally damaged in transit. If so the problem may have been fixed in newer units. All supposition on my part. If so a quick replacement scheme or a recall would be in order. As a precedent: Apple used to recall certain laptops for free hard disk replacement. They did the same with my iMac hard drive and when in the shop we noticed a screen defect so they replaced that too. Certainly made me a happy customer.
