Are you doing it properly, remember a short press on the power button to put it into standby, a long press will power it down and may not work as it disconnects the internet connection.

And are you looking in the correct place to see the change.

Freeview. button> Settings> Apps> See All apps.

On the next page you will see in blue Installed Apps.

Scroll right to the bottom of this list till you see Show system apps, and click.

The System apps will load up.

Scroll down till you see Freeview it will have a green icon with a robot/ android head in white.

Click on Freeview.

If it has updated the version will be: 1.00_62_240210_6c584f1a4.

I appear to have been up dated, on power up a small splash screen appears saying that it could not display due to content protection, the white circle appears, then displays normally. So far all appears normal, except if I check the version number it still displays the old version 1.00.59….. Although the “freeveiw” app file has changed size. Any body else had this strangeness ?

So, I’ve done the update procedure described in post #66 several times (and timed it with my phone stopwatch) and the Freeview system app has not updated, still showing the 2021 version. Tried separately on LAN cable and Wi-Fi.

Changed the settings so the box does not do a deep standby overnight and still no update.

Sent Humax support my serial number and they just sent me the same instructions as previously posted.

Any ideas on how to get the fix installed? I’m still seeing the fix symptoms when watching itv3 and itv4.

Thanks.

Same problem, when I get in touch with Humax they just send the same generated emails. I’ve reset the box numerous times, still the same 2021 update.

I do not use the Aura much nowadays, but I have just checked and mine has not updated. Have they missed out former beta testers?

I too was a beta tester, any other testers having this problem?

I contacted Humax, they finally asked me to do a factory default reset.

I bit the bullet, copied recording schedule. followed instructions

The box appears to function normally no blanking.

BUT it still shows the old version of the “Freeview” App !
