Default Sky Movies Premier - From Hell 10pm

Is anybody else having sound problems with this film tonight? Sound keeps on
disappearing for varying periods.

I've only just started playing it and the sounds dropped about 3 times for
0.5 seconds each time. What box are you watching it on?

Yes, I was getting this problem last night with the film on my Sky+ box. I feed the
office TV via COAX from the Sky+ RF output and it also had the problem.

I have a regular old Pace Sky box in the front room, and that was receiving the film just
fine... I could stand in the office and hear it from the front room when the office TV
sound cut out.

That made me think it wasn't a broadcast problem, but something wrong with my Sky+ box.

From the postings about the movie switching from Dolby Digital to normal surround at 11:00
PM -- can I infer that Sky received a lot of complaints, and that the problem was with
the broadcast after all?

Cheers
Steve T
