Comcast Moterola DVR HD box creating loud static sounds

Kayaker · 02-20-2007, 10:10 AM

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?

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