sky dd dropout

[ukwill]

Is anyone else experiencing audio dropouts when watching sky programs with DD audio?

Its really beginning to piss me off now.

If I turn my amp off (Denon AVR1910) then I dont get dropouts. But part of the Sky HD experience is DD, so thats hardly a solution.

Amp is connected to the Sky box via digital audio and hdmi. Amp acts as hdmi switch for sky/ps3 with hdmi out to the tv.

Ive seen a shedload of posts on the net about this but it doesnt appear that there is any conclusive answer - and from what I've read, it's affecting just about ever amp manufacturer.

Any ideas? Really pissing me off considering the monthly cost.

Thanks for the info chaps. I'm really pissed off that sky have said nothing about this. Effectively this means I've got a perfectly good denon amp that is incompatible with sky. I will be phoning sky. Not very happy.

Does this also happen with Virgin? If not I'm moving.

Virgin installed today. And happy to say, no more audio drop outs. Yay!
