Sound problems on TV?

I don't want to worry about this too much (maybe its me), but last night I thought there were sound problems on my TV (I have a new Panasonic G10 LCD) and the sound seemed tinny and metalic when watching HIGNFY - especially when Arlene was talking, it sounded weird and I kept wondering whether I'd done something wrong. It was like I could hear "whistling" in my ears 
Perhaps its better now.

Hey sorry to hear you are experiencing problems with your new set.
Are you watching it through Freesat/Freeview or maybe a sky box?
Are you using a speaker system e.g 5.1 or using the TV's own speakers?
How has it been since? Just that program?
I'm watching with the intergrated Freeview tuner and the TV's own speakers
I just had a gander now and it seems a bit better on BBC1 so maybe it was just that program as you say
There has been a small batch a cases where, mainly V10's, have reported sound vibrations when the volume is turned up very high.
While i doubt this is the case with your set, it is always worth checking.
See if this happens when your volume level is high.
Over the past couple of days I think the sound problem has gone away, I pressed the "N" button on the remote (doesnt this restore the sound to its default setting?) and then made it quieter, so it might have been my ears
I sometimes notice mild picture breakup even when the Signal on freeview was at 10, which is annoying. (Sorry for putting that here).
Glad to hear sound problems have cleared for now.
As for the signal breakup i have seen this before on my own pana. I would wager that this only happens on the hard to receive channels. The signal quality bar is updated every second whereas the picture is refreshed MUCH quicker. I have found that the signal would drop out on certain channels (on-screen interference) but the 'signal quality' / 'signal strength' bars stayed at a constant 10/10. I watched this for about 15 mins until i saw a flicker which caused the bars to fall to 1/10. This only went down to 1/10 for a second before jumping back to 10/10. It's signal trouble i'd bet so don't worry.
When does your area go digital? 2011?
When I typed in my details it said I was getting the signal from "London" so probably that means the Crytsal Palace transmitter.
Yeah thats weird if its that good all the time. Have you had bad weather recently or maybe have an old VCR connected in your aerial loop? I've even seen electrical devices interfere with digital before, so if the missis is using her shredder nearby it could be that......it's a long shot!
I don't know what condition the connection cable (I assume its in our loft) is in.
I live with parents
Sounds more likely to be aerial wire and connector if it is indeed broken.
