Default Comcast Moterola DVR HD box creating loud static sounds

Most of the time this box works fine. But every now and then when changing channels, or more frequently when using the fast forward, pause, or other recorder functions, I get a very loud static/screeching sound out of my speakers. It is much louder than the volume setting. About as loud as a smoke detector! I can deal with it occassionaly, but my cat hits the ceiling, runs to another room and will not come out for hours.

I run the box through and Rotel amp and paridigm speakers in a two channel setup. Anyone else experience their motorola box behaving this way?

Default my NAD used to do that until I did a firmware upgrade on it.

Default It's digital, I assume my mention of HD would have identified that

So, is this something others are experiencing? I guess I could just call comcast and forget the forum. NOT ANALOG

Default my 6412 Ph2 (DVI) used to do that, then I upgraded my receiver and it stopped.
