Ever since I have had SKY+ I have noticed that whilst watching certain
channels, there is a dip in sound of about 2 seconds.

Is this a fault of the SKY+ box or is it SKY themselves introducing this
problem to stop people enjoying the programmes.

I have just purchased a Freesat+ box made by Humax and am hoping that this
problem is not on there as well.

far as I could tell it is dependant on the machine itself. I seem to
recall having the problem with one machine then when it was replaced the
problem was resolved.

can't guarantee that :O)

Never had that problem but on Bravo and Alibi we get a momentary loss of
sound, probably a second or less.

I doubt if it is related but I have noticed when I watch BBC news video
clips on my PC after around 2 seconds it pauses momentarily and then
restarts, then continues as normal.
We are using virgin cable but I have just thought it to be my PC.

I have noticed that. It only started in the last month or so ISTR.

It has started doing that to me recently (Flash 10.1, FF3.6.13 on Linux,
ADSL connection ~2.6Mbps) doesn't happen on YouTube, just BBC.

I discovered that my wireless broadband modem was interfering with
half a dozen Sky channels. I fixed it by moving the modem to the other
side of the room.
If you have broadband try turning it off and seeing if the problem
still occurs.

I doubt if its the same SKY as its a satellite TV service which probably
doesn't reach NZ.

Do you have the narration channel sometimes used as audio description turned
on? sometimes I gather if its left on, noise on the channel can duck the
sound as is the case with AD.

If you amend Matty's post to read "half a dozen satellite channels" you'll see that there
is no difference!

I'm sure I've seen it reported elsewhere that wi-fi can interfere with some transport
streams if sited close enough for ingress into the TV system to occur.

It doesn't matter whereabouts in the world you are or whose programmes are carried on the
satellite.
