Thought I might try here as well.

Bought a UEC HD PVR (4-tuner) - and have recently noticed static/interference noise, and am trying to get to the source. I've tried audio over both HDMI and optical - its still there.

I noticed the following
1.) the static/interference is present when a playback or live TV is paused, or during fast-forward/rewind. It actually seems worse during this.
2.) it is present whether the audio mode is set to Fixed/Variable.
3.) It is present while the audio is muted on the pvr.
4.) It only seems to be present on the left and right channels, not the center (don't have surrounds connected).

Any idea where to start looking? I thought it was a satellite signal problem - but surely not if the playback is paused, and muted.

Starting to think its a decoder problem - but really don't want to go through the hassle of returning it.
