Sky digital? Whassssuuuupppp?

How many of u have a Grundig Sky digital box? Ok keep your hand up if you have had to endure terrible noise interference whilst perusing the menus? Has anyone had feedback from Sky on this?

I was told that `engineers are looking at the problem and will be sure to sort my area out first` because I have expensive speakers and am afraid the noise could `pop` a tweeter. I couldn`t really envisage a room full of white coated researchers examining the Grundig box under a microscope as I was hearing this. The picture in my head was a hairy, sweaty layabout with a cup of tea in his hand saying to the phone operators `I`ll have a look at it a week on Friday - if I can be arsed`. Comments please!

Yep, I have the same problem! In fact, so does my Mum and we both have Grundig boxes as it turns out.

Interested to hear the outcome of the cause/resolution.

If you go into Services/set up/sound and choose ` beep off ` does it not stop ? I`ve heard of this working in similar circumstances.

close Bowf, services, system setup, then sound settings, turn BACKGROUND music off then save new settings.

Problem solved!

We were told at work that the background music is being worked on but we have been getting a lot of calls like this which mainly affect grundig boxes. I think its simply because nothing is being broadcast you get this strange noise. Turn off the background music and its sorted.

Now dont say I am not nice ;)
