I'm using a Vista Media Center with a double DTT card, and no matter which card I use this always happens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZr-588a5A8 There's a glitch at -27:00 - and the thing is that it's there every hour. It matters not which DVB card I use (I've used Black Gold, a generic one and the Hauupagge one I use now). I've never complained about it because it doesn't happen on standard Freeview boxes. The wierd this is that when I record it and covert it to MPEG to put on YouTube, it's there. The sequence has changed many times and every time it does the audio and video corrupt at -27:00. Wired that. Also, can we have the stereo back on News 24. The music is great, but you can't hear it properly. I've got a fully digital-to-the-amp thing going on with studio monitor speakers... I want to hear David Lowe.

Perhaps it could be bad decoding of the mono sound?
