    Just got my Aura yesterday and its up and working. Yesterday, I installed an app from the Play Store (Notifications for Android TV) which basically made my Aura unusable and unwatchable for almost 24 hours. So, what apps are people installing and which apps need to be avoided?

    I sent instructions via PM on how to reset unit using hidden android recovery menu.

    Barry, I suspect it is the sort of problem that will crop up multiple times; is it something that can be added to the FAQ or is the hidden Android recovery menu only for technical support?

    I'm Hoping we might be able to add it as an FAQ soon.
