Hi again Trace.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. The picture and language is fine,
but the audio is like a sticky cassette tape slowing down and speeding up.
It's not much of a problem, but once you are aware of it, and in particular,
when you are hoping to record it, then it becomes a big disappointment.
My channel 5 has been like that for several days now and when I phoned SKY
today, they acted as though they did not know what I was talking about.
Surely, given the number of customers they have, they were aware of this
issue?
Best wishes.
Andy
