Since July '95, I've been quite satisfied with this product (AlchemyTV\DVR), despite a few wrinkles during setup - Power Mac G5\2.5 GHZ, 3GB w\Cinema Display.

Sound Distortion after update - Version: 2.5, 11/1/2006 01:07AM PST

Sound distortion after switching channels, occational klicks and buzzes.

Changing audio input in Audio/Sound Prefs has the same effect.

Probelm is new after ver.2.5 installation.

Mac OS 10.4.8 on a 1.4GHz Quicksilver.
