Hi, what channels are you experiencing problems with?

There have been some reports via stockists that a forced software update can sometimes correct sound glitches as a software issue but may not be related in this case of course.

Looks like a common problem a few lads i work with having the same problem as well not just with hd channels

bit shit paying £10 extra a month when it doesnt work correctly

which from what one lad was telling me and it came from sky installer the £10 is getting scrapped soon

That rumour has been doing the rounds for ages and ages - But it may eventually happen, I suppose.

Got the same sound problem with our Amstrad HD box. Its only when you watch it via the HDMI though on the telly, it doesn't happen when you watch it through AV1 (SCART). Its every channel not just the HD ones.
I thought it may be a TV issue but the PS3 is fine
