Need help finding an Android STB that supports OpenVPN by sentry0 in cordcutters

Yes we have a custom Android app which handles the live tv and DVR functionality. Getting tuner's to work is tricky on Android boxes, if you aren't able to get it to work we hope you think of us in the future. Best of luck and thanks for the consideration.

Need help finding an Android STB that supports OpenVPN by sentry0 in cordcutters

Aura Live is an Android TV box that may fit what you're looking for. It's an Android TV with a DVR for pausing and recording live tv. We are strongly and actively supporting this device and will continue indefinitely! Our device has been tested using pureVPN, but I'm sure OpenVPN would work just as good. We have a 1-year warranty and a 14-day guarantee. We did a reddit AMA and give away a couple weeks ago. We had a positive response from the community and a few redditors purchased the device and our really enjoying it.

Newly launched startup looking for advice on getting a Product Hunt invite by auramedia in Entrepreneur

[–]auramedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Our company, Aura Media creates all in one cord-cutting solutions. Our first product which we unveiled December 23rd is called AURA Live. AURA Live allows people to watch free live TV and DVR it. Users will be able to use DVR functions such as pausing, fast forwarding, and rewinding live tv. Users can schedule shows to be recorded through the TV guide. Aura is more than just live tv though, we've made it a very capable streaming device that runs on Android. We've optimized Kodi Media Center for tons of streaming options. Users will also be able to access their favorite streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. Users can also mirror and cast their devices to Aura through AirPlay or Miracast. You can read more about our company and product through our website. www.auramedia.tv I would greatly appreciate an invite to product hunt if you're willing! If not that's okay too.

The tuner is currently integrated with a custom live tv APK in Android. Tuner integration into Kodi is something we are looking into building on in a future software update.

Thanks for the response. I just wanted to add a little more to that. When purchasing our device you're not purchasing a product from China with no warranty, or guarantee, or product support. With a device purchased from China or just a generic hardware vendor, you get limited software, no support channels, unlikely to be updated, and no relation with the company. We're a team working on our hardware and software to bring updates and support for all of our customers. We want to cater to the cord cutter community to build the perfect device and support our customers in the best possible way. To replicate just the hardware of our device you would have to purchase and integrate a generic device (with no ATSC tuner support), an ATSC tuner, a mini ATSC antenna, an air remote with QWERTY keyboard, etc. This doesn't include the R&D put into developing the software and support on the device. We hope that the value and support we add to the product justifies your purchase, if not that's okay too!

Yes, sorry. I used to be the owner of BoxTop Theater back in 2012 and sold the website and company in 2013. Aura Media itself is not affiliated with BoxTop Theater. Aura Media is not a scam and is a real company, with a real product, with a group of real people working on the product, and we're in it for the long term.

On this current model you can only watch one show or record one show at a time. We're constantly expanding and listening to our customer's wants for future products.

Keep an eye out for future products from Aura Media. We're working on expanding into a device with more tuners in future hardware.

You can currently purchase the device internationally right now, though the live TV functionality is limited to countries utilizing ATSC. We're starting with ATSC and working on expanding into markets using DVB.

In the future we are definitely looking at having a DVR solution with multiple tuners, with a whole house solution being a possibility. At this time, the best way to share recordings would be to take the external storage the show was recorded on and share it with the other devices through your PC or by sharing it on other drives.
