BBC1 audio dropout

I have a Humax Fox T and BBC1 recently keeps having audio dropout. I've rebooted the box but it doesn't make a difference.

I am in the Crystal Palace transmission range. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't get it on the other channels and it only seems to be the audio that drops out mostly (I have seen both audio and video dropout as well but not as common).

    Yes, i noticed it last night during "North & South". Also Crystal Palace Tx, but on a Thomson DTI-1000 this time. The audio seems to 'pause' or 'skip'. Doesn't happen on all programmes, but annoying all the same.

    Maybe they are doing some work then. There used to be a webpage at BBC that told you if work was being done. No idea where it is though.

    No mention of Crystal Palace. Might have to try and contact them and ask.

    Yeah, I'm getting that as well. Thought it might have been a problem with my audio cables.

    Anybody found out what it is yet?

    It's not doing it tonight. Hopefully that's the end of it. Touches wood.

    AAAARGH! It's still doing it! Watching Hardspell right now and it's doing it frequently and it was doing it during the BBC London news. :(

    Is there another box you can try to eliminate yours?

    No it's all I have. It only does it on BBC1 though.
