    I love the DNLA functionality. But just to be clear - are all Full HD recordings and HD Live channels only transmitting in SD? A quick test using VLC on my PC makes it look so.

    960 x 540 with my settings

    It's the same as downloading to a PC using the box web interface.

    AVIDemux will scale 960 x 540 to 720p (1280 x 720). You will have to try it to see if you think it's a worthwhile.

    I get the same. Is this be expected?

    Yes. HD recordings and HD channels are transcoded when watched via DLNA.

    Another way that does give a decent full screen picture. It's superior to the Aura app.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab A. Bubble UPnp to connect to server. VLC for android player as chosen player.

    The Aura has just gone to a black screen, I can hear the sound playing from the live channels but just seeing a black screen.

    I've tried pressing the Live TV on the remote but still getting no picture. A reboot of the unit brings up the picture for around ten seconds before the screen again goes black. Home screen button doesnt bring up a picture so I cant access any of the menus to try a reset.

    Its been running fine since the it took the last beta update so i'm unsure as to whether thats related.

    I would be grateful for any thoughts on what to try.

    What did you mean by reboot ? Try pulling the power plug out the back leave it out for a minute or so and replace it.

    Is there a way to tell if my box has updated? (seen no sign of any notifications or update notes but some of the functionality listed at the start of this thread seems to be in the menus)

    What is the new firmware version number?

    Thanks
