    A message has appeared saying 'antennae has short circuited'. The picture is still very clear but the sound is now muffled and fuzzy. I have taken out the cable going into the antennae slot and restarted the machine but noise is still there. Is there anything I can do without buying a new machine!

    Go to Menu > Installation (password defaults to 0000) and set "Antenna Power" to off.

    Welcome to the Forum

    Check to see that the connection between the Humax and TV has not been disturbed, ie the Scart/HDMI leads are fully inserted.

    Have done what you suggested - still the same. Even tried watching a previous recording from the hard drive - also voice fuzziness! Anything else I could do or do I have to buy a new unit - don't really want to!

    It could well be the TV. How is the sound using the TV's tuner or a different digi box?

    Humax model is PVR-9150T and it is just over 2 years old.

    The TV is working fine - no fuzziness in picture or sound. Only when the box is turned on does the sound fuzziness happens. Picture is not affected.

    Turn down the volume on the TV. Turn up the pvr volume using the pvr remote control to full. Now turn up the TV volume to a reasonable level. How is it now ?

    Have just tried your suggestion - still no change - fuzzy sound even louder. I guess this means that I need to get a new box or get it fixed which ever is cheaper!!!!
