Black Hawk Down sound problems on Sky+
 

Long awaited premier and I get music and background sound but no dialogue.

Am I alone in this?!

Facking annoying.

You're not alone, I've just logged on to ask the same question. I've got
Sky+ too. I've tried it on the second box and it's fine. I thought it
might be some weird setting on the sound function, like surround sound or
something, but I facked with everything I could find on services but to no
avail. Just tried it again now (on the Sky + box), and it seems to have
fixed itself. I'm going to watch the second showing at 10pm on Sky Premier
2.

Regards,
Norm.

Amazingly, whilst it fixed itself on SP1, its still kanckers on SP2.

same here with BHD, i noticed the 9pm showing had no dialogue, so i cancelled
the recording and set it to record the 10pm show. same problem.

just got in, and was watching the tail end of the 1.30am showing. dialogue was
present then.

very annoying!

Were you using the Dolby Digital output or the analogue output? - there
have been problems with the former.

remove the nospam and alter the 'at' to reply (but you knew that already)

I was tempted to trade in my Tivo for Sky+ but the number of
people who have trouble with Sky+ has really put me off.

I haven't got round to getting the right cable to link it to the home cinema
whatsit so this was using the normal cables and the scart to the TV.

It was only a one of as this is the 1st time a DD broadcast has been screwed
up for me. It was defintately on there end as they were for some reason
outputing it in DD 2.0 and thats why there was no dialog present. Then
about half an hour into it they probably couldn`t fix the problem and
changed it to normal stereo.

Count yourself lucky...

Set Sky+ to tape the 10PM showing and it only got the first 10 minutes. No
clash, planner said 'Recorded'. I got suspicious when it had only used 1%
and decided to check before I got the beers in etc. Just as well.

First time Sky+ has ever cut off a program without a 'Clashed' or 'Partial'
warning.

Anyone else?

P.S. Any NG search that stumbles on this, don't get me wrong, 99% of the
time Sky+ is plucking good, and was worth it even before they dropped they
£10 a month.

10pm showing started the same, then not far in the sound went for a few
seconds and came back with the dialogue.

Strange and not really satisfactory.

I started recording once the dialogue was there - watched it on Sunday and
it ended after 67 mins.

Not impressed.

Like you, there was no clash.

Should we be making a nuisance of ourselves with Sky or are these known
problems?

I went for the 1.30am showing and got a whopping 1mins worth :-(

Bal

Did anyone else notice a time diference between when they set the film to
record and when it actualy did record
I ask because i set my sky+ box to record it at 10:00 however after reading
about the problems in thia newsgroup i went to try and view it only to find
only 1 min was recorded at that at 01:30 the next morning ie the repeat showing
odd!
or did sky know there was a problem and remotely reset my box????????

Perhaps we should all inundate sky with emails of complaint

Same thing happened with the sound on From Hell a few weeks ago. Dialog
intermittently cut out for at least 10 seconds at a time.
