I set a recording via the app but it did not record. The Guide in the app showed that the recording was set and this was done several hours before the record time. Would it make any difference that the Aura was in deep standby all the time?
Also, can a scheduled recording be set via the app if you are not on your home router ie, away on holiday?
I can't answer the first part of your post.
Scheduled recordings can be set via the app when you are away from home.
I don't think that the app can synch (via myhumax.net) with the box when the box is in deep standby. You can set up remote recordings from anywhere that you have an internet connection provided that you have not left the box in deep standby. I only put the Aura in deep standby overnight.

Thanks for your replies. I can now experiment with setting up recordings from remote places with the Aura in normal standby.

I can confirm, if the box is in deep standby it will not pick up remote recordings as I tried it as an experiment. I think if I were to use this feature, say if I was on holiday, I would set the box to not go into deep standby, just in case I wanted to set something.
I have a daily reminder set at 5:30pm everyday (as there are no on/off timers like the 4000/5000) to make sure the box is nice and awake, guide populated etc. by the time I want to use it at 6pm for my evening viewing. Not sure if this would be enough to pick up recordings, depends when they needed to be set I guess.

Very useful to know, thank you. In normal circumstances I need to be able to remote schedule from Australia (with a winter time difference of 8 hours) for about a 4 week period so I have to carefully work out on/off times etc.
