Hi there, my brother inlaw installed a Foxsat HDR for his father last weekend, the dish was already there only had to connect up the cable as there is only one feed he fitted loop through cable which I cobbled together for him. Everything went well but he says when the volume is turned down on the TV set there is an buzz or a hum coming from the TV, sounds like its picking up background cable noise or something like that, can anybody elaborate on this?

Thanks in advance

Try connecting by scart and removing the hdmi lead. These can radiate RF interference. If this is the cause try rerouting the hdmi cable and/or a different cable

Remove pins 1 3 and 19 from the scart plug at the TV end. It's likely cross talk in a poorly screened scart cable.
