Hi all

Recorded 'Rome' last night and watched on chase play about 30 mins into the program. In quieter scenes I noticed the sound was poor and was like a 'popping' noise, has anyone else noticed this? My signal strength are 8/9 so dont think there is a problem there.

Cheers

rekall, on my box, when watching recorded shows, in the quieter scenes i hear a sort of random beating sound. It has been like this since I bought it.

I thought for the longest time, it was noise being picked up on an inferior SCART cable.

Recently I got around to replacing the SCART - but still, the sound occurs.

I've come to believe it is from the harddrive as it seeks & it is perhaps due to poor shielding intenally.

I have finaly decided (today) to contact the QED site where I bought it last June & ask about returning it for repair.

Did you get yours sorted?

Are you sure that the signal is going through the SCART lead? Mine makes this noise when I accidentally tune the TV to the channel that is used for the aerial loop-through from DHD4000 onwards. My other half always used to put the TV on the RF channel rather than the AV channel (SCART) and I'd sit there hearing this weird 'beat' noise - eventually fixed this problem by removing the aerial lead from the TV altogether

No, definately through SCART as I dont even use RF anymore. Havent noticed the sound recently but havent been watching much terrestial TV.

I'm same as rekall, no RF lead attached so it couldn't be that.

Now i'm just waiting for a verdict from QED (sent it back over a week ago).
