I watched most of Dead Like Me except the first 20 mins of the first double ep and there was sound.
Dead Like Me - disaster!
I duly stuck my tape in the video on Friday for the double bill of Dead Like Me, and I've gone to watch it this evening and there's no sound for just over an hour!!
I'm assuming sky had a bit of a mess up - did anyone else get no sound?
Of course the repeat has already been shown on skyone mix already

Now that is *really* weird then.
I've fastforwarded through and the sound definitely doesn't come on until 10 mins into the 2nd episode.
Its nothing I've pressed as we were both out until about 11.30pm (so no sneaky button pressing - and I put the controls well out of reach of the cats!)

Hmmm, you've got me worried now as my parents have Sky and they tape it for me.
I'll have to check my tape when I get back home tonight to see if it's okay.

I've got Sky+ and it watched/recorded fine with no loss of sound.

Romba/Vinnie, are you on ntl cable or sky ?
And before you ask sorry I've deleted it now.
Well, I've checked the beginning of the first ep and there is sound.
Phew!!
Phew!!
Sam, I sometimes had this problem when recording stuff from Sky...and it was usually episodes of Buffy or Angel before the days of next night repeats.
I found out that the Scart cable which connects the Sky box to the television was slightly loose and could work it's way out of the connection ever so slightly with just a breeze blowing past it. The thing was it would also work it's way back in so you'd check it the next day and it was fine.
It wouldn't fall out but it would cause either the sound to vanish or the picture to vanish but the sound worked..replaced the dodgy cable and no more problems
Moral of the story..check your scart leads

aha ... see I have you all as you are all sky and I'm on ntl cable
I blame cable seeing as the phone line hasn't been working since Friday it must be related (btw nobody try ringing my home phone as it just rings and rings and we get no connection this end - not that any of you would anyway )
