    For a while now our Aura has fairly frequently stopped playing during playing a recording. See to reboot and when I start the recording again I have to restart from the beginning and skip through to where I was.

    I contacted Humax and they told me to do a factory reset, see response below.

    Have others experiencing this problem found that a Factory Reset helped, or are Humax just fobbing me off?

    Response from Humax:

    Thank you for contacting Humax.

    Please follow these instructions to perform a Factory Reset on your Humax Aura
    Device. Performing a factory reset can help with picture/sound, signal,
    recording playback, and software operation issues.

    Please NOTE: This will erase all data from your device's internal storage,
    including your Google Account, System and app data, downloaded apps, and user
    settings. Your recordings will NOT be deleted.
    - Press the Freeview Play button on the remote
    - Using the directional buttons, move up (top right-hand corner) and select
    the Settings icon
    - Navigate to Device Preferences and press OK
    - Select "Reset" from the list of options
    - A new screen will appear; select "Reset" once again.
    - The unit will turn off for a few moments and turn on again.
    - Follow the on-screen installation wizard to complete the device setup.
    - Pair the remote by OK & i buttons for five seconds; once paired, select
    next.
    - Choose your preferred language and select next
    - Select your WiFi network and enter your password.
    - You'll need to sign into your Google account. You'll have the option for
    web or on-screen sign-in (we recommend web)
    - Next, agree to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
    - Enable location services.
    - Choose if you wish to send information back to Google to help improve their
    services.
    - Enable the Google Assistant and Personal Results
    - Next, you'll be prompted to re-install any deleted apps (due to the reset).

    - You'll then be shown an overview of the features of your device. Press the
    right arrow key to progress through this.
    - You'll then need to complete the Freeview Channel search (this may take 3-5
    minutes).
    - When completed, save the results and accept the Freeview Terms and
    Conditions.
    - Agree to the End User License Agreement.
    - Finished

    I hope this helps.
    Best Regards,

    Marcus

    That's Humax,s generic response to all niggles and faults. I'm so sick of mine doing the same as yours I've relegated it to a cupboard and transfered my Manhattan T4-R recorder to my lounge main TV and is very stable. As said before, the only drawback is a lack of a third tuner but I can live with that to enjoy the stability of the Manhattan.

    I get this issue frequently and is really annoying, I have in the past done a reset, but it still seems to happen.

    I really hope an update is on the way, I really can't understand why it just sometimes reboots for no reason.
