I am having an on going problem. When I switch channels to and from a standard HD channel to a 4K channel I'm receiving a sharp crackling noise. The noise is more of a popping noise that moves through all the speakers when switching from a 4K to a standard HD channel. I am currently being advised that this is upstream issue with DirecTV. If I patch to COAX this problem goes away. This problem only occurs when patched with HDMI. I have had DirecTv on site three times and both server and client boxes replaced three times. No Change.
X do you have anything that might help with a resolution? Thanks
