Did you put the latest file on your box the 17/5/2010 file if not put that on it make sure you do a factory reset after you do that and then a new scan the sound is prob down to your scart lead check that for bent pins or loose connections
At no time in the original post does it mention the iconnect so c/s problems is not related. I would imagine the person is in an area not yet affected by N3. As e45 says.
That message is from topcat and he has now put the new firmware on his box and his box is working fine now Here is his reply if you want to look below http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-59/evolution_iconnect-848567/10#5141377 and one post you found out of how many boxes sold thats not a bad deal i have hear'd people say that about sat as well and that is far more likely to have that problem
ya m8 sorry that was not aimed at you it was aimed at that other idiot posting crap on here you wont even get a providers box 100% all the time mine freezes and also pixalates as well and that is direct feed from the provider no c/s on that either
