I haven't seen this on either the latest national release software or the latest CE version, and I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue, so I don't think it's a software problem.Score023 said:Every 10 seconds or so I am getting this annoying buzz sound that lasts about a 1/2 second during the USC Ohio St. game. This has happened before but tonight it is really bad.
Anyone else have this problem? Is it a software issue?
Thanks in advance.

) like the issue a few of us have been having with MPEG-4 locals in the Washington DC DMA (See posts here). It may be related to broadcast issues.
FWIW, I've sent a note to WRC-4 in DC alerting them to the problem and asking for an explanation, but it's been a few days with no response. I'm looking over at AVS to see if they've noted anything, but haven't had any luck yet.K4SMX said:Yes, that "brrrrrraaaaa" sound is typical of mpeg2 to mpeg4 conversion hiccups, and can probably only be corrected by adjusting the equipment which accomplishes this, usually, but not always, located at the local station.
Some DirecTV subscribers have been able to get this corrected by working with the local TV station engineers. It's a learning curve issue with them. Some are helpful, some are not. Perhaps you could make an audio recording of this for them. It seems that an amazingly large number of local TV stations don't monitor, or necessarily even have the willingness or ability to monitor, what comes back down from the satellite.
Yes, that's what I'm hearing as well, along with seeing a little bit of pixelation. However, I'm also seeing a brief flash of an HR2X message which looks like a tuner message and they often coincide with the noises. So, it makes me wonder if it might be software related after all? Perhaps issues with the broadcast that the HR2X can't handle gracefully?Score023 said:I was watching ABC in HD through my HR20 700 (not OTA). It's almost more of a zapping noise. I do have this run through a Sony receiver.
