Anyone using a TiVo Series 3 (HD)? Audio issue...

[Sylin]

(Mods, if this should go in Audio discussion, please move.)

We have a TiVo Series 3 (their first HD unit) as part of our HT setup. Recently, we've gotten mysterious drops in audio, both in live TV and recorded shows.

* This only occurs on the TV with the TiVo. Our other TV's are fine.

* The audio drops no matter if I'm running the sound through the TV, or through our receiver, so I'm pretty sure it's the TiVo.

* If I change channels, and then change back, the audio sometimes comes back. Sometimes it's out for hours, and only on specific channels (usually HD channels). It's never out on every channel.

As it stands, my cable company is blaming TiVo and TiVo is blaming my cable company. Given that the Series 3 uses CableCards, there's really no way for me to determine where the fault lies.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I use mine with a antenna and it works great in fact perfect so far if you can try with a antenna even a indoor one see if you still get the drop outs if so you know it's the tivo

Our cable companies HD broadcasting has audio issues at times...

On my Tivo, and on my other tv's as well. The HD Broadcasting isn't perfect yet. Glitches happen.

I'd assume it's your Tivo box since you say it isn't happening on the other tv's without Tivo in the house.
