    Not just me then - didn't think it could be. I am running the latest software version according to the updater.

    i have had this a few times recently. Had to resort to catchup to see the end of the programmes (BBC1 and Channel 4)

    Yes same here, gets through the adverts and then goes back to the beginning of the recording. On some recordings every set of adverts this happens. Odd it's not on every recording with adverts.

    I had this occasionally before my signal booster was fixed.

    It seems to me that it relates to a signal drop-out during the recording, which I guess is perhaps leading to a corrupted file at the given timestamp when the drop-out occurred and that caused playback to restart.

    Are there any issues with signal quality on your Aura?

    Yes, you might be on to something here; I do have some intermittent signal strength/quality issues that could be the root cause of this.

    I have to do something about it - I couldn’t watch a recording of the F1 highlights last night because every time I tried to fast forward through the adverts it jumped back to lap 22.

    I'm pleased someone else has this issue too! I was watching a recorded show from Dave ja vu this morning and it just jumped back to the begining, twice. Both times were when signal break up occured.

    Had my aerial professionally fitted, some channels have a strong signal but Dave is pretty weak. 90% strength and 50% quality.

    I'm on the 5th May Beta, but it occured on older versions too.

    Should it really restart from the beginning due to poor signal?

    I've been having this problem. Intermittently, not on all recordings

    I have had similar. Generally stopping replay and selecting resume works.

    One thing I found is don't try and fast forward (the buttons near the top of the remote that play at 2x speed or higher) but use the skip buttons (the left and right arrow ones in the ring around the central OK button) to fully jump over the corrupted timestamp.

    That usually used to work for me to get around such issues.

    That work as well. But using the programmed skip keys is way faster. On the few times it does not work. Using resume gets you back very quickly.
