Who suckered you into buying "Very expensive gold plated, shielded cables"?
Sounds like Currys/PC World?

I have had no real problems with my Aura - a lot better than my FVP-4000T but I do have 2 issues:

Why is the standard Android 'Video' App missing - my Sony Android TV has it; I had to download VLC as an alternative to allow me to play media from other networked devices.

Does the device provide a DLNA Server to allow playback of recordings on other devices (FVP-4000T, Humax H3 and a Windows Tablet)? Do I need to download an App? The FVP-4000T supports this (as did the Fox T2 before it) and I have a Humax H3 attached to an old TV which can play recordings from the FVP-4000T but can't see the Aura?

The aura does not have a DLNA server

DLNA server - could they put it on a software update or is it a hardware issue?

How do you remap keys?

UPDATE :
Hard Power Off of the HUMAX seems to have cured the issue, all I have to do now is reload apps on the TV and reset the sound/video etc.
Should have tried the good-old "three finger salute" first of all, shouldn't I?
Thanks for the prompt responses and ideas. Hope this helps others if they get stuck.

Power cycling clears a lot of Aura hicups.

I see that Humax have included an app, HAMS, for support to look at the box remotely if and when you open a fault ticket with them. Well that's something proactive I suppose.

I see that my wish to remote view recorded programs is available in its infancy.
Still needs a lot of work and ought to have the option to be password protected. Hopefully when the mobile and PC based apps are available, a full GUI will be there to use.

So I now appear to have another issue, when I skip forward on an ad hoc basis it skips backwards instead, has any one else experienced this?

Which buttons are you using for Skip ?
What settings have you got for forward and reverse skip ?

I am using the arrow right button pressed twice to skip, I have it on 270sec to skip forward.
