sky + loss of sound , channels 301-3-3, please reply so I can hassle sky
 

Hey,

Anyone else getting issues with SKY+ and loosing sound after a while on
these three movie channels. All other channels remain ok, and it affects
recording as well meaning an issue on decoding or something (SKY are giving
me the get a new scart cable).

Resetting the unit by powering off is getting on my t*ts.

Please rely, I want to give SKY some hassel.

Cheers

Mark

Same here, the only fix is to reboot.

If I reboot (or unplug), is there any danger that I lose recordings on
the hard disk?

I was recoding the Gene Hackman film on SP1 and had to scrap it & reboot.

After losing Black Hawk Down for similr reasons I'm a bit miffed with $ky.


i dont fink the recordings are effect, i remember before when the sound went
i tested a film i recorded and it had no sound. turned dd off and the sound
was back on the movie channel and the recording, turned dd back on, reset
and the sound was back for both again

I contacted Sky about the loss of sound on Sky Prem 1 2 3 and they said its
something to do with 5.1 transmissions. If a 5.1 system is connected to the
box (like mine) then sound is not played thru the system. Apparently if you
select a different output then its ok.

This is a know problem and they will be fixing it, apparently.
