    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    If those things came to England, I think id leave lol!!

    Apparently BBC are gonna offer a service on the red button getting rid of or at least reducing the noise......am hoping!

    think what you mean here is

    on the BBC digital option (Red button) you can choose what commentatary
    you want, either TV commentary, or No commentary at all, or the BBC 5Live commentary

    having just watched a game, (Paraguay v Solvakia) with the 5live commentary option, I can happily say on a score of 1 - 10 on cutting out the dam annoying vuvuzala's i'd give it 8.5, what a releif

    no i am using HDMI lead,the problem only seems to happen while watching football on HD other programs do not appear to suffer with it,although to be fair at the moment i have not watched a great deal else other than footbal on HD.
  • I really like them, I think they make this World Cup totally unique.

    Im afraid there is really nothing you can do about the noise except turn off the sound to watch.. the noise will not be taken away
