A couple of small things :-
1. If my Ethernet cable is connected, I can’t connect to WiFi. It finds the SSID but fails to connect when I try. Removing the Ethernet cable instantly connects to WiFi.
2. Using Plex, if I select under Advanced “Passthrough HDMI” for audio, Aura does passthrough the audio bitstream to my AV amp but the video and audio stutter, making it unusable. It may not be an Aura issue, but a Plex bug.
Pixellation really bad on Masterchief HD last night. Soft restart then ok.
On Sunday and Monday, Channel 4 scheduled three episodes of Frasier to fill some of the gap left by the cricket. I have a series recording set up for Frasier and on both days the Aura missed the first 7-10 minutes of the second and third episodes. This was not a broadcaster error as my Panasonic FVP recorder recorded all of the episodes in full.
Also, Unforgotten on ITV was moved from Monday to Tuesday due to some interview, but the Aura has not picked up this change.
PS: Record icons in the Guide continue to appear and disappear at random.

Pixellation really bad on Masterchief HD last night. Soft restart then ok.Might seem a bit left field but but of interest is your Aura connected to your network via wi-fi or using a LAN cable to a switch/router?
My Aura is connected to internet via ethernet home plugs to bt-2wahrx hub.
HDMI connection to Yamaha rx3080 passthrough then to LG OLED tv.I have a signal splitter to Aura/TV. After watching youtube then press live tv to watch Holby HD pixellation bad again, soft off/on then no pixellation.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm interested in why a soft on/off would fix the signal? The incoming signal is still the same.
I have been having pixilation issues, mostly in recordings, but have a good quality signal. I also never had this issue on my previous Humax 5000T which used the same UHF and LAN connections. My LAN is a direct hardwired connection via an edge switch for the TV/AV etc. to a core switch elsewhere in the house which has the router connected to it.
I found this post very interesting Sound/Vision Dropping. Why should an ethernet connection problem cause broadcast picture and sound issues? There are also other posts highlighting issues with a hardwired LAN connection.
My theory is that the Android 9 hardwired LAN handling could be a bit flaky and has a knock-on to the Live TV app causing the picture/sound breakup. A soft reset is likely to also reset the LAN so then the issues go away for awhile.
I would say that a large percentage of Aura users probably use wi-fi so I have now disconnected the hardwired LAN from our Aura and are now running on a 5GHz wi-fi connection to see what happens. After four days no picture/sound issues so far.

I will try wi-fi and report back.
Sorry but I’m champing at the bit. Is there a further beta in the works or will the latest one be tested further for general release?
James Bond films are regarded as a series on ITV. When viewed under Programme in Recordings, they are shown under the title of the latest film recorded. If you view in thumbnail view then the titles of the individual films can be seen, but when viewed as a list the title of the individual films is not shown.
