Interesting TV Problem
-
I think it is quite a strange a fault that I would put it out there for suggestions. Fault - The sound on the TV goes 'mute' at periods of about every 3-5 mins(not consistently), and also goes mute as soon as you change channel. The only way to get the sound back is to turn the TV off and back on again. The fault only occurs when we put the heating on! We put the heating on when the temp is about 15-17C in the room and we raise it to 20-22C. So we are only talking a 3-5C temperature change and this didn't happen during the Summer when Room temp. would have been at a similar level. The TV is not near a radiator(the nearest one is 8 feet away). The heating system works by way of 'remote control' at 433MHz. The 'TV' we watch is through a Sky box but I'm pretty sure it's not this, as resetting this does not bring the sound back and the missus assures me it happened once whilst watching a DVD. The TV is less than a year-old so I will be getting an Engineer round, I just wondered if any of you had any good ideas as what it could be? I have one(not entirely convincing idea) but I will wait to see if anyone else comes up with it

Bad solder. Get it exchanged.

Some EMC problems with the heating system ? Or, you have a gerbil, which makes screams (because its cage is too close to the heater) in a range of Hz which coincidentally maps with the remote control "Mute" key signal frequency.

Sounds like the lower humidity level might be the problem, though I don't understand why. Try cooking some water next to your TV?

Dry joint. Not the type you smoke...the solder variety. The time delay implies that heat is involved, which points at either a dry joint or a defective component. In all seriousness, have you tried hitting it? If that brings the sound back (even briefly) that that points at a solder joint problem. In the old days that just meant running an iron over the board, but with the density of modern SMT and BGA devices that option isn't really there any more. :(
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Why? what would I expect to see?
Hear rather. :) Winter is dryer than summer at equal temperatures. So increasing the humidity level to make it equal again would exclude that parameter from the variables.

I keep my cable box on a laptop cooling pad (you know, the thing with a couple of fans and a USB connection) otherwise I get a green screen of death occasionally, and have to reboot the cable box.

We used to have a cat whose favourite sleeping place was on top of the Sky satellite box, because it was nice and warm. That had to be rebooted at intervals too.
