Got my new Aura yesterday and while initial impressions were positive, 24 hrs in and things have changed dramatically.
Firstly, the Aura cannot maintain an Ethernet connection. In settings it shows Ethernet connected but the reality is it isn't. Messages keep popping up warning me the Aura isn't connected to the Internet. The connection is as follows - Aura to TP-Link unmanaged switch which in turn is plugged into dedicated hard wired Cat 6 Jack data point. Four other device using same switch, all working seamlessly. I could connect the Aura to the Mesh WiFi which does work but would prefer to use Ethernet and which does't answer the problem of why it's not working.
Secondly "weak tuners". Looking at the weakest frequency UHF 36 (594000 kHz). Signal test on two LG TVs and a Samsung show signal strength 42% signal quality 90%. The tuner on the Aura same channel, signal strength 22% signal quality 43%. I also noticed a couple of sound glitches and picture tearing while watching Yesterday channel. Flicked over to LG and Yesterday was rock solid. The aerial and cabling is only a few years old - wideband log periodic with mast head splitter serving three TVs. Transmitter is Sutton Coldfield which provides very good reception. I have tried feeding the Aura and TV their own feed using a splitter and used the Aura's passthrough. Results are near identical. I suspect that come spring and summer when the weather improves i.e. more high pressure the Aura will lose channels.
