v19.1021.153 Software Update

Released 13 May 2026

The main additions in this update are two new settings exclusive to streaming devices like the Aero: Auto Frame Rate and CEC Volume Control. The update also adds a new option to disable the Aero's automatic standby behaviour, a new carousel of free live TV content on the Home screen, optional navigation sounds in the user interface, and a few smaller improvements.

The update started rolling out on 13th May 2026, but has now been paused while we investigate reports of Aero waking up unexpectedly. Once we resume the update, we’ll update this information.

Once the update is detected, you’ll be asked if you want to install it. It will then download in the background and install automatically the next time your Aero goes into standby.

New

AUTO FRAME RATE

  • A new Auto Frame Rate setting reduces motion judder by switching its HDMI output between 60 Hz and 50 Hz depending on the source frame rate.
  • You can find this setting at: Settings → Display settings → Auto Frame Rate. It is off by default.
  • For more information, please see Refresh Rate and Auto Frame Rate.

STANDBY WHEN INACTIVE

  • The Aero enters standby automatically after 20 minutes with no playback or menu activity. This update introduces a new Standby When Inactive setting that lets you turn this behaviour off if you'd prefer your Aero never to go into standby on its own.
  • You can find this setting at: Settings → System → Power & Energy Saving → Standby When Inactive. It is on by default, so your Aero will continue to behave as it always has unless you change it.

CEC VOLUME CONTROL

  • A new CEC Volume Control option lets the Aero's remote control the volume on a connected TV, soundbar, or AV receiver over HDMI-CEC, instead of adjusting the Aero's own internal volume.
  • You can find this setting at: Settings → Inputs → CEC Volume Control. It is off by default.
  • Compatibility varies between devices. Before turning it on, please see CEC Volume Control for more information and guidance.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE

  • A new carousel of free TiVo+ live content has been added to the Home screen.
  • Navigation sounds now play as you move through the user interface, providing clear audio feedback. The volume is set to Low by default. You can change it (or turn it off) at: Settings → System Sounds. The available options are Off, Low, Medium, and High.
  • Sports content is easier to find using search and voice.

Resolved

  • Various stability and performance improvements.
