P287 - Problems with Audio

[Oakenshld]

I know it was supposed to fix some Dolby issues with certain receivers, but it messed mine up.

I got it Wedensday night, and did'nt use the unit until i got home from work yesterday.

I have an off-brand (liquid video) reciever. I have had the optical audio hooked into the unit for 8 months with no problems at all...until ..287.

Now every time I change channels, to any from any Sat SD, Sat HD, OTA SD or OTA HD, I get about a second of this horrible loud very quick tapping sound before the audio comes in clear. It sounds like a helicopter blade hitting wax paper, and about as loud too. It is VERY annoying.

I have soft reset the box twice and unplugged for 30 minutes. I have tried switching back to dolby only or PCM only and then back again to both..Still there. Anyone else? If I cant fgure it out tonight, looks like I may call for a replacement.

This is similar to the problem I have been having since I got my 811 almost a year ago. If I try to use digital (optical) out, I get the loud heli sound. Only difference is that mine does not go away, it continues indefinitely leaving my only with the option of PCM. I have an older Technics AC-3 decoder. I am still on 284 and hoping that 287 will finally address this issue.

Wouldn't suprise me

Every time dish adds support to fix issues others were having, those that werent having the issues start getting them in future updates

I don't have 287 yet, so hopefully I wont get screwed
