Have just purchased and set up a Foxsat HDR - very impressed so far.

However I have one question, more of a niggle really regarding the audio on HD channels.

Whenever I change to a HD channel I get a "chirp" through my TV. This "chirp" also occurs if I pause live TV or rewind etc? Like I say it only does it on HD channels.

What is it please?

Thanks

It will most likely be the TV switching from lpcm audio to decoding Dolby Digital.

You can force the box to output lpcm stereo all the time.

Menu - Settings - TV Setup - Dolby Digital OFF

Not with a stereo TV. Dolby Digital can carry 5.1 surround and a slighter higher sound quality in stereo but you need an external amp with DD decoding and decent speakers to gain any advantage.


With the small speakers you get in a HD flat screen TV you won't get any advantage. Simple answer try it and see.

I had to send my box back as it kept locking up and playback was stuttered. This followed several resets.

Anyway, sent it back to dixons for a refund.
