Scenario:
EPG search
Results are shown in thumbnails.
An option to change to a list view would be beneficial, and the font size follows the sizing within the new font settings.
I’m not sure whether this has been suggested before (or even implemented in the beta firmware) but, in the EPG, I would prefer the sort function (green button) to default to the last setting used – or at least have this an option.
At present, every time I go into the guide I have to reset this function to sort by channel name because I like to have all BBC channels, for example, to be grouped together. The channel numbers mean nothing to me.
2 suggestions
1. In the recordings list, having an option to move recordings into another folder or move into completely new folder.
2. In timer recordings/schedule recordings, been able to edit and manually adjust them.
Suggestion. Apps are shut down when exiting them rather than running in the background. This would solve the now tv issue.

Not sure if this is supported or a good idea, but could you enable Andriod ‘developer options’ and then set the background process limit?
I’d like to see more options when you have finished watching a recording. At the moment, to delete the recording you’ve just watched, you have to press the recordings button, or home > recordings then red to delete… Seems a bit convoluted.
Why not have an option on the menu bar at the bottom (it already has play / forward / back / restart / Live) and have a Delete option or perhaps Lock if you want to keep it?
I’d also like to see more options in the Aura app that lets you manage recordings; I realise its early days for the app:
– An option to delete recordings.
– For a programs that are on now, you cannot record it, you have to watch live… I don’t want to do that, I’d want to record it and watch it later, even if its half way through.
– It would be nice to see your Favourites list in the Aura guide, not all 150+ channels which you have to scroll through to get the to BBC HD channels on 101 etc.
– I cannot remove a program once I’ve set it to be recorded via the App (in Scheduldes).
– There is no way to cancel something that is “Converting” – It just says 1 converting….

Unless the box was tuned to the channel you want to record when it started it is impossible to record the full content where can the already transmitted content be copied to a file unless the box has buffered it as it was transmitted. To do this the box would have to buffer every live channel. If it was you can record the complete programme from the time shift buffer. This will only work if you have not changed to a different live channel in the period the programme started.
One of the options in the public betas currently under test is a user favourites option that you can name and order in any order you want.
If you are watching a recording that is still recording (if that makes sense), when you press right on the remote and you get the fast forward and rewind buttons, the live button when pressed takes you to the last channel your were watching live. Could it be set to switch to the channel that the recording is set to. There’s been times while watching a recording I have caught up by skipping adverts and it changes to the last channel watched not the recording channel.
Hopefully that all makes sense.

Watching a recording as it records is known as chasing playback. If you wait till say 15 mins after a 30 mins ITV-HD recording has started. You will have enough buffer to skip the ad break.
If you use the programmeable skip keys to skip the ads not the fast forward key it will stop skipping if you haven’t enough content to skip. That way you will not jump back to live TV.
I tend to do that but I was watching midsummer murders and caught up on the recording so pressed live button and thought it would switch to itv automatically. Not the end of the world just thought I’d throw it out there as a possible suggestion.

You can switch to any live channel instantly by tapping in the lcn (103) in this case.

If you press the square stop button as the programme you are watching is just about to finish, the screen that comes up has a delete button.

Thanks to you all for the comments. The last post from you Graham seems to be working. I’m sure I tried this before and when I pressed Stop, it tried to stop the recording that was active, but it’s working now, so I’ll take that. I still don’t think it’s a bad idea to add a delete option to the menu bar (with Play fast forward etc).
A poster in another Forum who I Think has an arrangement like mine that allows the box output to be viewed on another TV like my Kitchen TV. HE wants to be able to change the Live channel with a remote control app on a mobile device. This would be handy for me as well. Something similar to the Foxsat-HDR custom firmware remote control add on would be ideal.

One other item that might be nice is ComSkip for recordings, to get rid of adverts. Although I’m not sure if that would be allowable.
Also not sure if this is just for software/firmware improvements, but a couple of suggestions from the hardware side:
* A clock or more detailed display on the front panel than just the coloured LED bar. One major thing I do miss on the Aura compared to its predecessor is the clock on the front panel, just for general time reference.
* Built-in 4G and 5G filtering – optionally with software switchability via the dashboard?
* Stronger tuners with more interference resistance (maybe linked to the above).
