OK, thank you.
Does "automatic" work the same as on the fvp's, that is to say, only when initiated will it do a full search?
Because Clem clearly believes that his Aura is going to be operating autonomously (possibly overnight) and searching for and potentially losing/duplicating channels.

It's a relay so very few changes. It does not have the temporary COM HD muxes.
I can't get Sutton Coldfield due to a wood with high trees a few yards from my Northern border. Lark Stoke is weaker but due south with line of sight so a log36 in the loft gets a good signal.

I think people are mixing up two different meanings of automatic tuning:
1) When asking the box to scan across all MUXes and tune in those for the nearest / strongest / preferred transmitter. This is an occasional event when first setting up the box and when there has been a major change with the transmitter changing the MUX frequencies it uses.
2) When the box does an overnight automatic check for channels added, removed or which have changed MUX.
(there is a third case when the only changes are to a channel name and LCN and which do not need any retuning to be done to continue to view them - rebranding *is* just for Christmas and can be safely ignored)

The fvp's use option 1.
Clems tv's use option 2.What does the Aura do?

If anyone wants to check a 5.1 recording (set box to surround). There is a 10 episode series of Father Brown starting today on BBC1-HD at 13:45. All Father Brown episodes have DD 5.1 audio.

What does the Aura do?No way of telling until the transmitter you use actually changes. That will generally only be main power ones involved in clearing the high frequency mux for comms use.

Does the Aura not offer "smart" option when retuning?Not with the current latest firmware. Automatic or Manual
Thank heavens for that. The Smart tune option on the FVP-5000T is not well implemented and it causes endless problems. The idea is sound in principle as demonstrated by the capability of the similar functionality in the custom firmware for the HDR-FOX T2.

Could you test by deliberately deleting a couple of channels from each mux and leaving the box overnight?
