Sky sound problems? (background noise, but no speech)

[Joyrider1]

Anyone having problems with the sound on SkyHD at the moment? Since last night I've noticed at random times on the HD channels I can hear all the background noise, but none of the speech. When the program gets to the ad break, the sound comes back, but then goes off when the program returns.

Am on a Live Chat with Sky at the moment, and to be honest he's taking so long to type I though PH might offer a quicker response :-)

Have you got that stty "audio descriptions" turned on?
I noticed that "dimmed" the sound, but it is usually accompanied by "JIM WALKS INTO THE SHOP! JIM LOOKS AROUND THE SHOP! JIM LEAVES THE SHOP!" at 100db.

Nah - funnily enough that happened the other night on the BT Vision box upstairs - It's almost like someone has unplugged my centre speaker so I can hear the surround sound, but no-one talking. Sky Live Chat is running out of ideas - just got me to do the usual turn off the box, check all the cables etc...

Now he's told me to tune the TV! WTF?
