  • New HR21 500GB Garbled sound when rewinding live TV

    Hey. I've had my 500GB HR21 hooked up for about two weeks now and this past week I've noticed some garbling/choppiness to the sound if I rewind live TV and when I've started playing a show while it is still being recorded. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    I'm wondering now if this might be a problem with my signal. I'm noticing that its seems to be a problem with Discovery HD. I can detect a bit of the problem in live TV, as well. I'm guessing that I could have a problem with the signal for whichever satellite & transponder this channel uses. I've been having a few issues with the signals that may have to do with the long cable run (150'). I'll be hooking up a signal amplifier made for 5 LNB dishes with Ka/Ku bands and having the dish professionally pointed next week.

      If you replay a segment, is the garbling the same, or does it change each time?

        Hi, Michael. It's the same each time. Bad audio signal being recorded & replayed?

          Yup. So either a bad input on the unit, or a bad line. Can you try using it closer to the dish?

            Can't get it any closer, found that the surrounding tree branches were hanging lower than usual due to the heavy snows we have had. Cut quite a few branches to get a clearer line of sight and the signals went up a good deal. DirecTV tech came out and aligned the dish better, too. This seems to have rectified my problem.
