We only use streaming/catch-up apps, and those are on the TV which is basically the same as the Aura. For anything else the remotes are such an awful interface (eg. for text input) I'll rather use a tablet and cast to the TV from there - which is a rare occasion TBH.
Same here, the only app I have added is VLC and not even used that yet on my Aura.
Are all those things even possible on an Aura?
I'm always surprised people make use of the 2-4 Freeview Tuners in PVRs tbh. There's not a lot on Freeview really. I tend to only need 1 tuner for recording and 1 for watching but but I've seen some people say they need 3-4. Which is fair enough. Same kind of thing I guess.
It's also a regular Android TV device, you can check in Preferences -> Strorage and clear App Cache for any taking up a lot.
I am very interested to know which apps you have found to be useful please.
All those tuners work on an Aura which certainly cannot be said of the majority of android apps, some require casting from another android device and others not at all.
Yes.
Did that clear any space or help find the culprit using lots of storage. Any idea what's causing you to run out of space?
Apart from all the usual catch up apps, plus all that come preinstalled I have the following:
Thank you, a couple of those are of interest for sure.
We basically watch nothing live. The problem is the 9pm watershed which means a lot of what we want is on then, plus the 'buses' problem - there's nothing for a few days and then several on the same night.
Feels like you might be better off with a regular Freeview Play PVR. Less complexity but possibly less tuners I'm unsure.
.I'm still hoping they'll reply to my email. Think it's said 3-5 days, but yeah they may not.
Android Apps are only of worth if they are a benefit to you and with so many other android devices available eg TV and phone where those apps may prove better placed there seems little need to cram an Aura full of unneeded apps, quality over quantity. I also choose not to keep my toe nail clippings in a jar as it serves no valid purpose. Just a thought thoughFeels like you might be better off with a regular Freeview Play PVR. Less complexity but possibly less tuners I'm unsure.
Android Apps are the USP of the Aura for a Freeview PVR. Just a thought though
Pluto TV and Plex are good btw.
.
Really? They weren't even on my radar when I got ours, and I've not added any apps to it, or even the TV.
They aren't PVRs. Apples and cheese comparison.
Trog was asking what are the good Android apps available for the Aura further up.
Ah, OK. I lost the context in the time between reading posts.
Cheers for the tips.I already have Pluto TV on my TV and laptop though I have only used it once for viewing one of the new Star Trek series a few years ago, not sure there are enough hours in the day to add Plex too but I will give it a look and see if it has any gems I can find time for, is it downloadable in any way or stream only and is a VPN needed to get all the US content or everything is available to all regions?
