    Hi, I just signed up to comment on this.

    My mother in law is having the same issue but with recorded content. Never watches live TV. Pause, go to kitchen, come back and it stays again. Sometimes when it does work on there is no sound and she has to rewind for ages and watch content again.

    I don’t want to stick beta software on her box but it would be good to know if there is a fix on the way at least. Otherwise I think we’ll just give up and ditch it and buy something else, it’s just not worth the grief. It’s running latest alpha software.

    Thanks, Dan

    I would wait for the planned update week commencing 19 April – I’ll update Forum if this changes.

    OK Barry, thank you for that. Fingers crossed. It’s been driving her mad since December so a few weeks is hardly unreasonable.

    Cheers, Dan

    I’ve been living with this problem since I’ve had the Aura and commented in this thread previously. Since that time I’ve been emailing Humax and following various requests from them….

    Rescan channels, then reformat HDD, then rescan channels (again), then a full factory reset….. all have not made any difference.

    Now, before I deal with Humax again :evil:, has anyone else found a resolution to this problem.

    (NOTE: A variation of this problem is when pressing just the “Live TV” button it jumps back to a previous program that is in the buffer, no pause required.)

    Well, if anyone is interested…. Humax sent an exchange Aura box… and guess what. The replacement box has exactly the same problem !

    Makes me think is the remote (which was not exchanged) sending a wierd signal on a button press, otherwise goodness knows! Or it’s software/firmware?!

    Humax dialog regarding the problem was brisk to the point of them providing an exchange unit, but they have now seemingly chosen not to respond to my emails !

    I have had similar happen to mine a good few times which really annoyed me.

    Hopefully Humax are actally aware of it so they can fix it.

    They do that same thing happened to me when I contacted them when the stock answer was not right they just ignored emails terrible customer service.

    Humax support have contacted me (they must be reading these forms I think). Sadly, they again ask me to retune the Aura even though I did it twice on the original box and now they want me to do the same on the replacement unit !!!! But… I’ll do as they ask although it seems (considering others here have had the same problem) it’s a software/firmware problem, or maybe even a faulty remote??!!??

    I could be wrong but to me this looks like a variation of this.(link below) but for live TV and not recorded…..

    Humax said weeks ago their would be a firmware update to address it, but nothing in Beta. Annoying as hell, since I get this on every other recording I play back…

    Certainly seems related but I’ve never experienced the symptoms described in the other topic.

    This happened again last night, i paused itv at the start of the 10pm news last night and when i come back i pressed play and it resumed partway through the Martin Lewis programme which was the 2 programmes previous (was about 1.5 hours earlier) so i had to fast forward to the very end to get back to where i wanted.

    It is really annoying that it does this.

    I tried to email humax before just to add another person to their list but i got an email straight back saying their mailbox is full

    I could try again later i guess.

    So it appears that it is going to the start of the buffer (which obviously can be a different length of time for each user depending on when a particular channel was selected).

    Thats exactly what I beleive too – It never starts the counter to track the postion of playback on Live TV…. Which is identical to the recording play back problem that I mentioend in this thread >> https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/fast-forward-of-recordings/page/3#post-92759

    It’s a little bit worrying Humax are letting their email get full. Surely they have a business grade email server.

    Since I’ve retuned my replacement box, I’ve been trying to duplicate my original problem, and wierd thing is I haven’t been able to get it to go wrong…. yet!

    Just a thought, thinking back (and I might just have brain fade), but I think I’ve only ever seen this problem on HD channels. But I’m now watching SD channels to try and replicate the problem, just to check my thinking. But also, on the other related(?) thread…..

    https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/fast-forward-of-recordings/page/3#post-92759

    …… is this only on HD recordings, by any chance?
