    Another annoying bug, probably reported elsewhere, but no harm in posting anyway.
    I paused a HD program for 45 minutes. Once unpaused, I’ve noticed a few points where the program pixelated for a few frames. I’ve also had sound dropouts plus pauses for a few seconds during playback.
    I’ve seen this problem with the release software but was hoping it was fixed with the beta.
    I doubt my hardware is at fault, I hope!

    I have similar experiances . In my case the pixelation occurs a short time after watching a recording and going back to live tv.

    An example of a recording missing from the TV guide on the Aura (no red circle with an R), but in the Schedule on the Aura and visible on the guide and in the schedule on the Android app: Bloodlands, BBC1 Wales HD, 9-10pm.

    And Dad's Army on BBC2 Wales HD, 8:30-9pm. It does not seem to be random Bloodlands is still not showing while other programs are showing.

    I've used the web interface to watch live TV and a recording on my PC, Edge browser. Both work ok, but why does watching live TV cause the Sony (KD-49XG8196) TV to turn on? What's going on there?

    CEC power control

    Thanks. I've turned it off.

    When I search for (for example) Click, it only shows me the bbc news HD version to record but I don't have a good bbc news HD signal so it fails to record due to signal

    I have seen pixelation several times after exiting recordings and going back to live TV.

    Beta update. For Barry and anyone else who may be interested.
    1. Recordings warning failed to record, but actually recorded perfectly. Since beta has not occurred.
    2. Live channel break up/pixelation,much better but still present on Film4+1.Channel is perfect on every other tv/tuner. Was okay on Youview humax before.
    3. Pixilated & loss sound after rewound time slip. Now no pixallation, but reduced sound drop outs.
    4. Not sure what i would use DLNA for, but tried live channels and recordings on Samsung Tablet using vlc, all worked great and at the time I was watching on the Aura a 28,000 photo slideshow from my nas. Impressed.
    5. All Freeview on demand apps work, straight from epg without a black screen & need to reboot.
    6. No crashes or need to reboot since update.

    We record about 4 shows per day, watch a couple of catch ups and odd Streaming Disney+ & Prime etc (what no Netflix & NowTV), also lots of streaming of photos on nas & Google photos.
    On samsung q70r TV with Sons beam.

    Aura is now what it should have been back in November last year.
    Keep up the great work. Ask if you want anything checked.

    Had a bit of a lock up today. Tried to play a program in the kids section, on demand from iPlayer. iPlayer message came up saying something went wrong. I went back into home screen and it all looked ok. I pressed live TV and had a black screen apart from the channel list at the top right. Tried 1,2 and 3 - all blank screen. Went into settings, about, restart. When it loaded back up, everything worked as expected.

    From using the beta for the past few days, I've noticed more pixelation in general. This has been when watching live broadcasts. Not noticed it on recorded programs. Seems to be worse on "QUEST HD" and haven't noticed it as much on "BBC ONE HD" or "ITV HD". Not sure if there is a difference in how these channels are broadcast?
