Thanks for this. For number 1,i was thinking more if I was not using the included remote and watching live TV, how to get back to home screen. Like with the remote is it possible to click the back button rather than the dedicated home button to return home?
If I am watching ITV and then change channel to BBC1, if I hit the back button it goes back to ITV, i.e. the previous watched channel. If I want to go to ”home” then the adjacent specific home button has to be used.
Thankyou
Can you replace sd bbc 1 with HD bbc 1? So on guide and when scrolling channels it displays HD only

I think I saw an option to sort channels manually so I believe so. Not sure if it would survive a rescan or not.
You can also create Favourites so I suppose you could have it sorted that way. All HD channels start in the 100’s, so BB1HD is 101, BBC2HD 102 etc etc.
Cheers
Apropos nothing. But over at avforums someone has posted that they spoke to humax today and Netflix won’t be happening AT ALL.

Can’t check at the moment. but if I remember correctly the epg can be filtered to show only HD channels. Will have a look in the morning.

Netflix on a mobile device can be cast to a chromecast. The Aura has a built in chromecast.

I do not believe this works well if at all from what I’ve read on different forums.

Correct – when viewing guide, press red and options are All, TV, HDTV, Radio – highlight option required and press OK.

To all those who own this box if you can help me…
1. When watching live TV, can you go back to the android home screen by pressing back button?
2. Can you jump forward by 30s/60s etc when viewing a recording by pressing the right control button (rather than fast-forward button)
3. Can you control the box using for example a universal remote/lg magic remote using hdmi cec? Utilising the Bluetooth rather than ir.
4. Can you power on and off your TV using the remote without powering off the unit itself?
5. Has anyone managed to pair this with the lg magic remote,?
Thanks to all and thanks for comments so far. Shame there are not many reviews yet for this from sites or YouTube.. Very strange.
I can answer 3 of those:
1. There is a Home button on the remote.
2. Yes see FAQ
4. Yes, once you have set remote to your TV Brand, instructions are in the manual.
2. 30 second steps on each press
Not just 30 sec, can be configured to 7, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240sec in Record & Share menu.
I have been talking to Humax today and the upshot is apart from the remote controlling your tv via IR, everything else is bluetooth. So if you want to incorporate a universal remote you get one that does IR and Bluetooth. Harmony does one but they are very expensive. Nearly the price of the Aura. So I won’t be bothering
I believe the lg magic remote is also Bluetooth so might work with lg tvs

Anyone’s voice search stopped working?
Have you unpaired the remote bluetooth pairing or not paired it in the first place.
See the manual.
This has details how to pair and unpair the remote for bluetooth.
Unpaired the remote is infra red and can control other Humax boxes. up to 6 infra red modes are available to avoid conflict with other Humax kit you may have in the same room.
The microphone in the remote needs to be paired to the box by bluetooth for voice assist to work.
I seem to be having issues with Bluetooth on the box. I’ve unpaired them remote and it can’t connect to it. I’ve also tried to pair my Harmony Ultimate and it doesn’t recognise it.
I programmed all my favorites to a list I called ‘My Freeview’ This appeared under the red button channel filter list. I was pleased with the setup but after the box was turned off, all settings reset to their original lineup. Even the homepage customisations were reset.
I will be much happier when we can access the App.
All in all I’m enjoying the Aura but probably needs a few updates to iron out the gremlins
