Hi all,
We currently have a YouView box, which has served us well over the last few years.
However, I've been looking at the Aura, in the hope it will solve something that the YouView box can't do well.
Our setup is that we have the box in the lounge under the main TV. In our bedroom, we have a second TV. At the moment, we use one of those old fashioned video sender devices to "transmit" the output of the YouView box to the bedroom TV. Downside is that it doesn't work very well (it uses the YouView box's SCART output, so the picture quality is very poor, and it causes problems when trying to watch HD channels or recordings of HD channels).
Here's where I'm hoping the Aura might work better. The bedroom TV has a Chromecast connected to it. Using the Aura box and the companion mobile app, would I be able to cast live TV, and recordings, from the Aura box to the bedroom TV's Chromecast?
I know that this wasn't possible when the box was first released, but I've been reading about the recent improvements, and wondered if it's possible today?
If it can now be done, does anyone use this feature? Does it work well? And, in general, coming from a YouView box, how does the UI compare (in terms of ease of use, features and speed)?
Thanks!
