Did you fill in your postcode on Wolfbane ?
What did it say your best transmitter is and what channels does it use for it’s Mux.

InactiveChange the option to T2.
The box has a tendency to indicate a signal with no quality (on dvbt when you should be on dvbt2) when scrolling through the channels. Just follow Graham’s advice.

I don’t own an Aura but I suspect that the manual tune screen is the same as other Humax freeview products.
Other Humax manual tune screens default to DVB-T. For any channel/frequency that broadcasts using DVB-T2 you need to change the transmission line yourself to DVB-T2.

Inactivegraham hi again, just manually changed channel 55 from dvbt to dvbt2 – on bbc1 the picture quality has gone from ok to superb , so much clearer and cleaner – thanks.
Now do I have to do this for every channel in the manual channel list? Steve

No You have to identify which transmitter using Wolfbane you should be using.
HD Mux use DVB-T2. So you are tuned to a transmitter that has a HD mux on UHF 55
All transmitters even relays have PSB-3 the main mux with the five HD channels
BBC1-HD BBC-2-HD ITV-HD Channel 4 -HD and Channel 5 -HD.
Once the transmitter and the channel numbers it uses is known I can tell you how to manually tune.

Signal strength has nothing to do with the box, but everything to do with the aerial etc. and location.
When signal strength is reported as a percentage then I think it is entirely possible that different makes and model of PVR will give different readings for the same signal.
Which is why I said what I did. And I suspect that different readings is very likely.

Personally I would not trust Wolfbane. For my location using the Nottingham transmitter Wolfbane shows six multiplexes, there are actually seven and two of the channel numbers are wrong. The information for my other possible transmitter Waltham is worse, they may as well have used random numbers. Maybe the information for your location is better.
