Has there been another update today? My home screen looks competely different
I believe this is the latest Android/Google TV update which is being rolled out. Apparently the code was already on the Aura but not activated as discussed in this thread: Google TV
Woke up this morning to this new update.Everything seemed ok till I tried to play my previous recordings....not a chance just a black screen with no sound or picture.No matter what I tried it just wouldnt play any recordings.Had to do a full Factory Data Reset.Now I can play the recordings but lost all items listed in my recording schedule and had to do them all again.so far its working ok now, will have to wait and see how it goes.

Mine is working fine after the update.
For future reference you can Import / Export your user settings, which includes the schedule, to the HDD at Settings > Freeview Play Preference > System Settings. I believe this is retained after a factory reset, as are the recordings, as the HDD is not reformatted.
Can't see any obvious changes to the Google TV bits this morning. What's the Android version etc that I should be looking out for to check?

I've checked the Android Version, Security Patch Level, Kernel Version and Build and those have not changed since March.
Version: 9
Patch: 5 December 2020
Kernel: 4.9.189-1-12pre #13 Thu Dec 24 18:50:58 KST 2020

The new home look like this vs the old.

Have any Apps updated recently?
Hmm, I had the same version, patch, and I think kernel number (24th december dating stuck in my head), but the home screen looked the same as it ever did. Maybe it needs a reboot; a job for when I get home.
Did you get any notification that the new version of Google TV was being applied?

There was no prior notification of the update but there were two explanatory notifications about what had changed and that previous home screen content may have gone and need re-adding.
I only noticed yesterday evening when I pressed the APPS key to load VLC Player and the screen had changed.
I am a Beta tester but there has been no notifications of any updates to test and according to the Google TV thread the functionality was already on the box, it's enabled by Google by region apparently.
I'm in the beta too. Maybe the update will have applied by tonight.
On phones etc, I've had plenty of experience of updates to apps or core systems being delayed by 24-48 hours between devices I've owned, so perhaps I'm just waiting in the queue.
