SKY TV. Channels keep losing sound!

Anyone else having this problem at all?

All the HD ones are OK, but at LEAST once a day now, I switch on the normal channels, or record something on the normal channels, and there's no bloomin' sound! I have to switch it off at the wall and back on again. It''s really annoying me!

This happening to anyone else?

    Where is the audio coming from? TV speakers, sound bar, cinema unit?
    How is the Digibox connected?
    What's its make and model number?

    In the back of the box will be two cables that screw in, these carry the satellite feed. Unscrew them both, and then screw them back in nice and tight. Doesnt matter if you swap them over.

    I can't see the point in this since the multiplexed signal contains sound AND picture.

    Anyway, DON'T touch those connections while the Digibox is connected to mains power.

    I had similar issue once, loss of sound sometimes with an occassional picture breakup, one of the cables wasn't screwed in too well by the engineer.
