do i need a new UPC box?

Hugh Cream

A humming noise, very faint but can be heard, and the picture is not great, possibly need a new box?
plus, do they normally send out a new box or send out a technician?

My box hums a bit too. Do you have a recording facility in it, if so its probably that recording live tv.

Non HDMI boxes give a pretty crap picture on LCD/LED flat screens by the way, a new box won't change anything unless you get a better connection.

If you have a decent tv upgrade to HD package for a fiver a month for the better box. It makes SD channels better too in my opinion.

ye its the scart connection, was never great but seems worse lately, would love the hd box but live in the city center, cant really expect hd/broadband in cc tbh.
think its us in cc and the aran islands who are still without a decent package.:rolleyes:

They will send out a technician. However the quality on some UPC channels has alway been bad and always will be, especially with people buying 40 inch TVs and watching standard definition channels.

I can't see how the technician visiting is going to solve that.
