TG4 Sound drops and 3/3e Vertical sync problems

    Has anyone else noticed the persistant sound dropouts on TG4 or the vertical sync problems on TV3 lately?

    I'm using a Thomson hd box, all other channels are working perfectly.

    Dish is a 1m channel master dish with invacom quad lnb with c120 feed horn (signal strength and quality shows 90% / 88% on both horizontal and vertical frequencies).

    Signal meter on box also shows full signal when viewing tg4 and tv3/3e.

    I have replaced all caps in box psu with matching panasonic caps - everything seems to be functioning normally.

    Is anyone else having these issues?

    It happened multiple times last night too and this time it happened on a different box so its not my equipment thats at fault.

    Could it be a watermark?

    been having sound drops on tg4 for months - got things recorded on the hard drive from christmas that have these sound drops. Thought it was my set up - maybe not now!

    I have noticed a couple of sound drops on tg4. Don't watch it much but have recorded the series Muintir na Mara,

    3e has had that vertical sync glitch for months now.
    Doesn't really surprise me, that channel is the pits of technical quality.
    Poor audio quality, poor picture quality, no widescreen signalling so you end up with a distorted image. Very poor.

    Haven't noticed any problems with TG4 though.
