    Hello all.

    I've been a longtime user of an FVP-5000T which unfortunately appears to be starting to fail so I've recieved a 2TB Aura as a gift. Having had a (very) quick look through this forum it seems that there are many problems with this box. Could I beg some of your time and ask for a list of current known issues, and any fixes/workarounds where appropriate, as a starting point.

    Thanks for your patience.

    I've just stored mine away and bought a new android tv and new EE TV Pro 4K Freeview Set Top Box YouView 1TB that has 4 tuners and in 3 months has never crashed failed to record or froze up.
    The ee boxes are available new on Ebay all legit and the apps preinstalled all work except internet tv.
    100 quid for the box.

    Thanks for your comments. I've put the Aura into storage and I'll just swap out the HDD int the FVP-5000T for a SSD.

    My advice would be just use it as a PVR and delete or disable all the streaming apps, after doing this mine became stable and reliable, I use streaming sticks/boxes for this purpose.

    This leaves the bugs. One can be worked around, when you start to watch a recording look at the timeline if it stays at 00:00 and does not start counting stop and restart the recording, if you don’t and pause it will jump to the start. Second you just have to live with sometimes it doesn’t remembering where you left off if you part watch a recording then come back to it later.
