    Hi - I've just had my new Aura for 1 day now and it seems great. Just a few questions (probably coming from the angle of an FVP-5000 owner):

    1. Can you change the order of the favourite channel list?
    2. When the favourite channel list is selected in the guide, on the 5000T, this also applied to when you were moving up and down the channels without the guide on display. This doesn't seem to be the case for the Aura so I end up flicking through loads of channels I never watch. Is there a way of making this work?
    3. What is the best way of streaming videos from a DLNA server? Any recommended apps for this?
    4. Can't seem to cancel a scheduled recording from the remote app, but not a major issue.
    5. Navigation and UI is much better than the 5000T
    6. It seems like when you switch it off, it comes back on showing the menu or screen you were last on. Is there anyway you can set it to default to Live TV?

    All in all I'm pleased with it so far

    Try Plex and Kodi as the dlna client

    https://beebom.com/use-kodi-guide/

    You can create up to 5 groups of favourite channels with each one with up to 10 channels if I remember correctly . FVP- Settings Channel And broadcast. Once created while viewing the guide Press red - Among the other epg filters are your favourite lists.

    Purely my own personal preference - I keep trying to get on with Plex and Kodi (for years now) using my Synology NAS but for me it never seems to improve. In the end I revert to VLC open the folder I want and play the content. It's simple and it works well on the Aura.
