Humax have identified the Blank Screen issues with Aura and are sending out an Over The Air Update to selected Aura Users. This is a test update and once confirmed that the Update is functioning correctly then all Aura Users will receive the update.
Wow Humax support still around and looking at Aura bugs….how long has it been 2 years since last update ?
I have the same on itv1 and ch4. But seem OK on recording?
Just recorded a program in HD and normal. The normal skips , the HD does not…
Problem solved, we have tried everything to stop the blanking on ITV. Now just return everything back to normal and wait for the update.
Thanks for the information.
I have this too. Started two days ago, only on ITV and Channel 4. I tried what some others have said, switched to HD and it has cured it.
Very annoying but pleased to read others having same and assume it’s down to one of the many updates rather than my box failing.
I’m getting it on ITV2, ITV3 C4, 5 and Film4 but not 5+1 not checked every SD channel.
HD channels are fine.
So the affected channels are on the same MUX.
If you wind back live or on a recording it’s not repeated at the same spot.
So pleased to find you guys with this problem. I thought it was just me. Getting it on ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, but not on HD. Will look forward to the update.
I do not have this issue, but I am wondering why people are watching/recording SD channels when there are HD versions of those channels to use which have a much higher quality picture?
Just curious.
Ive just spent 56 hours little sleep factory reset of all my kit TV included slapping my signal distribution amp to find out with a high degreee of relief its a wide spread issue. My ITV1 SD film4 ch4 is affected which resides on Pontop Pike transmitterb(ch42 642.0mhz) and ive observed every 1min 57 seconds my scteen blanks out) like clockwork.
Im now wondering seeing everybody seems to be the same channels ITV1 SD if the problem is isolated to that frequency or is it a case of peoples ITV1 Ect blanking no matter what mux frequency it resides.
Id also be keen to learn if anyone else has timed the fault to repeating every 1 min 57 secs.
Pleased now I can put my set up back and wait for a fix bleedy managed to smash my three wise monkeys ornament moving my units about to get to wiring. Nevermind Il seek another BM stores £3.99.

Actually since watching HD channels due to this problem they have been fine but previously when we tried (ages ago) they were very susceptible to pixelation and drop outs (generally not just the Humax). However, in general viewing I can’t say that I actually notice much difference. HD is only slightly clearer. I suppose it may be more noticeable if you have one of those giant TV’s but we don’t?
The biggest reason why we don’t use them generally is that they are not handy in the TV guide, down at channel 100+ and there aren’t that many of them down there to make it worthwhile staying down that end of the guide. Too much too-ing and fro-ing.
It would be handy if the Humax had an option where it could ignore SD channels when there are HD equivalents and allow re-ordering of channels. Hey maybe it does?
They also take up more recording space which isn’t an issue for me wth a 2TB disc but could be for some.
Thanks

ITV2 is not available in HD, the rest we normally do use the HD channels I was just checking to see if other channels were affected.
Same issue for me. The channels affected are all the ones on Multiplex PSB2. The issue occurs all day into the late evening then seems to be ok for a while only to repeat again the next day, very odd.
Edit. Most of the channels affected do not have a HD option

Thats funny earlier this morning I was going to post something similar asking why people were watching the SD channel versions when there was the HD channel equivalent available.
I decided against it and had a fry up instead.
The problem seems to be only on one mux, which for me is the D3&4 broadcast on Channel 43 (Blackhill. Transmitter.)
Been watching ITV1 Ch4 ITV2 and E4 and have noticed this intermittent drop out, it is not very often and quite random.
Is it still Red Bee Media that is responsible for distributing the TV companies broadcast signals to the transmitter network.
Should people be contacting them if that is the case.
Red Bee Media had a fire at their facility in London which knocked out most of Channel 4’s various channels a few years ago and took
months to restore to full capacity. When I heard about this I was surprised all the TV companies entrusted one company with the distribution
of their content.

There is little difference in quality and just easier to watch SD.
