Almost 24 Hours since I started this thread and only 1 comment so far
The other 20+ testers must be happy
I posted to the previous topic "Aura Beta software dated 17.03.21" just before it was closed describing how I managed to record the same programme 3 times. I'd have thought that it merited some comment but may have been overlooked because you closed the thread.
I’m plagued with weak signal problems (first on channel 4 HD, now channel 5 HD).
Neither the TV or FVP 5000 connected to the same aerial socket have problems.
I’ll report back if I continue to see problems.
A separate observation.
Playback of DTS-HD coded material, set to ‘passthrough HDMI’ using Plex media player, under Plex advanced settings, doesn’t playback properly resulting in stutter and corrupted audio playback through my amp (Marantz SR7011).
All other codecs passthrough OK.
It may/may not be an Aura problem, but a Plex app problem, though I thought I’d mention it.
...and the dreaded pixellation is back with a vengeance tonight 
Was watching 'Live' BBC4 HD Lucy Worsley programme (clear as a bell with no pixelllation) when Corrie began timer recording on ITV HD.
About 8.45, began watching Corrie on Aura record catch-up & noticed pixellation from the ITV ident onwards, on roughly 6 occasions (Video of a few examples below)

Same here, have seen two instances of pixilation on two separate recordings from BBC2HD yesterday and a CH.5HD one today. Had no issues on the previous beta. Continuing to monitor.
Not sure if this is an Aura problem or not. Last night at 10pm television and Aura were put into standby using the Aura remote. Remote was left on table next to TV and Aura.
Went to bed about 12:30am this morning.
Woke at about 2am this morning; the television, Aura and my FVP 4000t were all on. Only me and the wife in the house, both went to bed in the same room.
Strange experience.

I’d classify that as a haunting. Get those night vision cameras setup!

Guessing this is a consequence of CEC power control. Hard to tell which item woke up and powered the others. Was the Aura put into long push sby ?
Which kit has cec control turned on.
I haven't seen any major issues since the last update. 1 minor thing is that the amplifier connected to the HDMI ARC on the TV does not always turn on when the unit is powered up from standby (even though it turns the TV on). When the amplifier does not turn on, if I press the S/AD button twice, then green "audio system off" the amplifier then turns on. The red button has no effect.
On a "nice to have" request, would it be possible to have a setting that the unit automatically transcodes programs after recording them? This would mean they are instantly ready when I want to watch them with seek control on the bedroom Chromecast, instead of having to remember to transcode beforehand.
