Change the method of selecting a day in the EPG back to that used in FOX t2 hdr,using the fast forward and back buttons.
Selecting yellow button then the day is ok for one day, to select another you have to repeat the above, because it reverts to current day.

The wish list item for me would be for the distracting “Start Recording” notification which appears in the top right hand corner on timer record to be either completely disabled or at least a menu item added to toggle it on or off.
If you’re in the middle of a particularly gritty drama or an engrossing film, it tends to take the edge off when the Aura tells you Dave is starting recording Taskmaster at 10PM-10.30 etc.
The colour of the light on the front of the box is enough to indicate the status of the device.
I think the feature was present on the HDR-1000S for a while by default before it was removed in a later update
I like the recording notifications, so there should perhaps be an option to disable them if you don’t like them.

Fast forward and reverse buttons are already used in the guide to skip forward or backwards in 2 hour periods.

Agree. I find it comforting when a message appears telling you what’s what. I bet if it didn’t have pop ups at all it would on the improvements list!
I’m in the no notification camp. Never seen another pvr do this and never seen it flagged as a “wish” before. But as others say, a toggle option is the best of both worlds.

I’d make the point if you go to the cinema, you wouldn’t want a message flashing up during the film you’re currently watching that says a film you intend to watch next Week has just started
A bit extreme, but you get the gist

I am definitely in the prefer to see a notification camp. I find it reassuring on my HDR and 4000 when I see the notification pop up to show that all is going to plan. With the amount of programs the Humax can record, sometimes a light is just not enough to give the information I like to know.
Agree a switchable setting would satisfy both groups of people

Thanks for replying. Checked my settings, and I have turned that off; which explains the improvement since we first got the Aura. However, there is still a sync issue that definitely needs sorting. Checking customer reviews, it is one of the main complaints and reason for returns.
From Humax Towers:
1. Which Audio devices are in use (TV, AVR, Sound bar..) and what is the connection (Direct HDMI or ARC..).
2. Check your PM’s please.
Overall this is a good bit of kit – but my wish list would start as the biggest wish –
facility to re-order favourites and for favourites to pass through to up and down programme buttons. It’s one hell of a hike from local BBC One to BBC One HD.
Program list facility – as was on the Fox. This could be on the OK button since pressing this during live TV gives the same information as the i button
Media server facility so that TV’s in other rooms can pick up recording made on the Aura – again like the Fox used to
The voice command doesn’t seem to respond accurately, e.g. saying BBC One HD switches to the SD channel whilst saying ITV HD works fine as does ITV on its own which goes to the SD channel. Some channels are not recognised at all.
It’s sad really that so many features on older models are not carried through to new ones. New whistles and bells seem to take priority. Other members of the family not so tech savvy get used facilities and find it difficult to re-adjust to new ones which seem to be less functional.

You can skip instantly to any channel in the epg if you know it’s lcn
eg if you tap in 103 and press enter you jump instantly to ITV-HD

Yes agreed, that’s ok for me but some members of the family can’t even remember how old they are! It’s much more sensible to have a programme navigation system that’s user friendly.

I am 76. I can still look at a simple printout of the lcn’s. 😯
I also remember my mobile number 😯
I can still remember the HD channels I always record from and being on the same Mux can record all 4 and with a simple dodge record all 5.
How may channels do you expect 3 tuners to b e able to record ??
And also being a subscriber to Radio Times.
Why would I want to view channels not on the lcns listed there ansd also online guides.
Sorry I think this is total non-starter. Absolutely zero chance of this ever happening. But what do I Know

I agree about the re ordering of favourites, as on the FVP-5000T.

Set up Favourites list, and select with red button in guide, only channels in the fav list will be displayed.

The ability to watch and set recordings from outside home network. For instance, I’m waiting elsewhere such as a hospital bed and want to watch a recorded episode.
