I have owned an Aura since November and experienced many of the ‘issues’ reported here. I also have a 2011 FoxSAT HD recorder, still going strong. The latest updates have just installed.
The Aura App (iOS) works fine on iPAD and iPhone. Can download & or play recordings.
The Aura is very responsive and the programme guide user friendly cf the FoxSAT. Generally recordings are fine and video quality same as TV. YouTube and iPlayer apps work OK. The updates improve things but the following issues still pertain:
1. If a recording finishes whilst one is watching another recording the box switches off.
2. Some recordings fail with message ‘no power!!’- as others have found. Don’t know yet if latest revision fixes this bug.
3. Sometimes fails to power up from the remote & need to press button on unit or remove power to unit to start.
4. Fast fwd on recordings stutter badly after x2 speed. Surprising as FoxSAT is way better at this with smooth replay at x64. However using the ‘polo’ buttons to fast fwd through the adverts works a treat using the picture icons to see where you are.
5. The new ability to control TV sound from the Aura works OK but it delivers max sound level out hence there is a huge level difference when going say from Aura back to TV. (If normal TV is level 12 when switching to Aura you need to drop back to level 5). OK if you only use the Aura but not practical if you want to use other sources with your TV.
Anyone else having these issues?
