Apologies in advance, but I’m going to have a moan again at the presence of the recording info box 😳
After using the box a bit more in the past Week (once using 3 tuners to timer record separate programmes), the amount of message boxes being shown reached ludicrous proportions during playback of a stored recording,
Within the hour and a bit programme being watched, there was no less than six information boxes I noticed appearing on screen in the top right hand corner (different start/end times).
The script went like this:
Begin watching selected recorded programme…
15 minutes in, info box 1 appears:
“Preparing Recording”
30 minutes in, info box 2 appears:
“Starting Recording”
32 minutes in, info box 3 appears:
“Starting Recording”
1hr 2 minutes in, info box 4 appears:
“Completed Recording”
1hr 5 minutes in, info box 5 appears:
“Preparing Recording”
1hr 10 minutes in, info box 6 appears:
“Starting Recording”
I may even missed a couple, but I dare say if the schedule was further staggered (say at Christmas) with multiple overlapping timer settings when in normal use, the recording info boxes would be going nuts.
In normal one timer use, the status light should surely be enough but if the user needs to know the status of recordings 2 & 3 etc., the recording status can always be called up via the appropriate remote button?
I realise it’s a semi-divisive issue but please Humax consider those who don’t want the distraction from the programme itself.
At least a toggle switch in the menu to switch the feature off would be much appreciated, as I predict it will become a major source of irritation for a fair few users if kept in it’s default ‘on’ state.
The beta improvements have been excellent so far with a lot of the bugs ironed out, but this is one feature which would enhance the box even further
I am in the ‘like the recording notification’ camp.
I think the ability to toggle them on or off is the best solution.

Ditto!
I don’t want functionality completely removed if it works fine. My opinion is leave well alone or allow it to be toggled on/off. I’m sure that there are more pressing issues to be resolved?

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.
Set up Favourites list, and select with red button in guide, only channels in the fav list will be displayed.
I think the wish is to be able to reorder the favourites within a list – so that in the guide you can see, for example, the channels in the order BBC1, BBC2, ITV, ITV+1, C4, C4+1, C5 etc. This can be done on the FVP-5000T. Also, once a favourite list has been selected, it would be good if the channel up and down buttons used only the channels in the selected list, so when channel-flicking, I don’t have to (for example) flick through all the adult channels I never watch (honestly!)

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.
You can set recordings remotely with the app. Watching remotely can be done using the Webcontrol interface if you set up port forwarding correctly.
An On screen warning if you try to install updates if a recording is imminent.
Two things for the Aura APP. Current Installed V 1.0.9 (Installed 09.03.2021)
1. There is a bug on our iPad (iPad Pro 9.7inch) where double digit dates only show the first digit (see screenshot) this is in portrait and landscape. We don't have any Accessibility settings enabled. The dates display correctly on an iPhone 7.
2. Could there be an option to select and just show list of favourite channels in a specific order? I always have to scroll down to the HD channels every time I start it up.

Here is a screenshot from my iPad Pro 9.7inch, and the dates display correctly. Which version of iPadOS do you have? I have version 14.5.

I can reproduce your issue if I alter the text size via,
Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size
With the slider two marks to the right of centre, the dates are as shown in your screenshot. My default text size is with the slider in the middle.
Is it possible to make it clearer which app is selected on the main home menu. It can sometimes be difficult to tell until you start moving through them

I had a look at this and the Dynamic Text Size is set to maximum on our iPad. You are correct that if you set it to anything other than the two largest sizes the dates are fully visible. It looks as if the app is using dynamic text just for the title and date headers on the TV Guide and all text on the other screens.
There is plenty of room to accommodate the larger text on the TV Guide just needs the app tweaking. My wife likes the larger text as she wears glasses so don’t want to change the dynamic size setting down just to fix one app.
Timers – on timer and off timer (sleep). Can’t find any mention of these in setup or user manual. Would be useful as with the old Fox.
A suggestion; when watching a programme live, it should allow the buffer to be added into the recording if record is selected part way through. E.g I start watching documentary live. 15 minutes in I realise my wife would have been interested too so I hit record button.
Currently when the recording is viewed, the first 15 minutes would be missing from the recording, despite the fact that I could rewind to the beginning whilst watching at the time.
For me before adding new feature I would prefer if the core faults are resolved first:
1.EPG not showing all “R” record flags – random fault affects any channel, and yet record flags are always present in the Aura app.
2.EPG time occasionally goes out by several hours – resolved by soft reset.
3.Occasionally random short (1 second) video pixellation on recordings or chase play – nothing wrong with my aerial etc: only the Aura displays this issue.
4.After a reset ethernet connection not recognised until I switch wifi on then off then it’s recognised.
I am not yet an Aura owner but one thing that I think I have seen mentioned is that the Aura shares a problem with the FVP-5000T where when the start or end time of scheduled recording is changed then the recording (using accurate recording) is unlikely to be complete whereas an HDR-FOX T2 will produce a faultless recording. It would be nice to see the Aura able to match the Ageing HDR-FOX T2 in this respect.
