I watch Sky mostly through my Toshiba SD-42HK Home Theatre system to enjoy better sound in my tv viewing.
Recently I have noticed that the sound quality coming through my speakers on all sky channels sounds (please excuse my descriptive word in advance) Squiggly. It has a weird squiggly noise. This noise comes out all my speakers.
At first I thought, oh dear, my home theatre system is on the frits again(as it had just being repaired due to a faulty internal power supply shorting out everything). Well when I play a DVD I get perfect sound. No noise, no squiggly type fuzzy sounds. Sounds just like I am in the movie.
Now I have never ever noticed this problem before. I would say I've noticed it greatly as an approximation over the last month.
Now I know Sky did some updates a while back where they changed the picture format. Found this little bit of information when my Philips 29 inch TV was having an issue where it was expanding and shrinking the picture at its own will. And I was told that sky was broadcasting in a different format and some TV's can't handle it. But I knew that was not my problem as this was happening by not watching via sky, and also viewing DVD's. Well we got that fixed and it turned out my Philips TV was faulty too and I managed to get that fixed under Consumers Guarantee act.
I don't know if I have everything hooked up right, well the sky man did it. I said I want to have Sky sound run through my home theater system. So he did that, plus we also have it tuned into a normal channel to use the TV speakers (which the picture quality is not as good this way, as faint horizontal lines that once you notice them, you can't help but see them(well for me anyways))
Here is how it is hooked up.
From the sky decoder box (sorry don't know how to find out model, so if that is required to help me, please explain how I find it (there is no label with a model number on the front or back)) the TV scart runs into the DVD player with the Red, white and Yellow plug things and then DVD player goes into AV2 on the TV. And the Video scart does the same running into the back of the Video - TV/AV1. (I don't know how to hook the vcr up to have it run the sound through the DVD player - but it is not a problem watching tapes through normal tv speakers every now and again).
The dvd monitor out is then sent to the back of the tv in monitor in (to get the picture)
There are also other wires that I don't really know what they are doing, but they are plugged into a Prolink AntPdium power divider.
Is there a fix or a simple work around to this. Is it something that needs to be changed in the sky.
Please excuse my naievity to the technical jargon. I know a little bit, but haven't really sat down to figure out other ways to hook things up. So please reply in the most basic way possible for me.
All feeback/answers greatly appreciated.
