Odd behaviour of digibox sound

[iBozz]

As a temporary stopgap, to replace my aged Nokia OnDigital box and before I get an digibox/HD recorder, I have been given a second hand Technika AESTBS7 twin SCART FreeView digibox.

The picture is fine and, although the 7 day EPG doesn't seem to work very well, I'm moderately happy with it as an interim solution, but ...

... every few minutes it loses the sound for approximately 10 to 20 seconds. This happens on all channels and at all times of the day or night.

At first I thought that having the "automatic update" checking enabled might be the problem, but I've disabled that and the problem persists.

Have I inherited a faulty box, is this a "feature" of the Technika AESTBS7 or is there some simple solution which I have overlooked?

Thanks.

check scart ... make sure they are connected properly... also check signals on your box, its usually in the settings section on the main menu...
