She has had the unit for a couple of months and she has mentioned recently that she is having issues with pausing / rewinding TV.

Sometimes when she uses rewind it seems to jump to beginning of the previous program? She says she then tries to wind forward and it doesn’t seem to let her?

She also feels it is very laggy when it comes to using the time shift feature.

In my experience, the most common cause of the rewind problem is that the button has been pressed before the programme has actually started to play; this is worse with HD recordings that typically take longer to start playing. My advice is to wait until the time line shows the programme is playing.

I did connect to the Aura via FTP in case I would be able to just wipe the ‘time shit’ file(s) but can’t see them via FTP, and having done a little fiddling it looks like it should be purged every 2 hours / upon changing channels anyway.

So – just asking – is the time shift on the Aura known to be a bit… glitchy? Or is there potentially some other thing afoot?

As far as I know there is nothing you can do to change the size of the time shift buffer.

I should add that I had terrible problems with trying to jump over adverts in this evenings episode of Coronation Street which I have also seen previously and I will report to Humax.
