Black Screen Bug

Interesting. I think there are other forms of the black screen bug where it can be recovered from by changing channel or starting to play a recording and then stopping it but I do agree that sometimes nothing will restore the live TV display other than a power down but your approach of restarting the apps sounds very interesting and I will try it next time I see the problem. Thank you.

Mine is where switching channels from the EPG resolves the issue. It often happens at 7pm, when BBC4 starts. I am also getting the message on the TV about the Aura’s ability to record HD yet this is not supported by TV stations (Sony Bravia) I get sound but no picture. I think it might be something to do with the telly blocking the HD signal. Then again…

Not a good box, but hey they’re gonna come up with a new one.

I finally got a chance to test the fix for the black screen bug. I had brought the Aura out of standby and live TV was working, I attempted to play a recording and got a black screen, I stopped the recording and live TV was still working. I tried the suggest fix of “Restart all apps” and now both live TV and recordings produced a black screen. Putting the box into standby and waiting for it to shutdown and then restarting fixed the black screen problem for both live TV and recordings. My conclusion is that there are several causes of the black screen problem and the suggested fix does not cure all black screen problems.

I’ve raised the black screen bug a few times here, even raised it with humax without any acknowledgement at all. This is where you can access everything but live TV which just shows a black screen and the only method to restore live TV is to power off completetly and it takes a few minutes to restart Android. I thought I was going mad and after 3 months of dealing with this issue I finally diagnosed this bug myself and found the solution. You can all try this at home to confirm the bug and I’ll be posting it to Humax with my sanity fully restored.

That sounds frustrating! I’m actually facing a similar issue but with a white screen instead. I have tried everything from restarting to resetting, but no luck so far. Would love to know how you diagnosed and fixed yours might give me some ideas!

The thread you started here on your issue has vanished before you were able to provide the extra details you were asked for however the thread you started on the other site has had several replies which I see that you have read this morning but failed to respond to those trying to assist you. If you want a solution you need to communicate, provide more detail if asked, explain what solutions you have tried so far and whether those offered by others failed and then you will get more input. If you just read without any further posting people will assume you are not worth wasting their time on. Also you have posted here in a thread dealing with the Humax Aura when you stated on the other site that you have a PVR-9150T. There has been several instances of bogus new members joining the other site recently and posting in old threads in order to gain credibility and I am sure you would not want people to think that you are one of those.
