Hi all,

I acquired a used Nfusion HD and am having some problems with it. I set up in terrestrial/OTA only mode and it found all of my channels fine. Recording works fine. The problem is, about half of the channels are missing audio. I have it hooked up via HDMI for video and via optical for audio and my receiver is a Pioneer 1014TX with no known problems. I've scoured the Internet and some folks have mentioned disabling dolby digital to address this, but as far I can tell on the receiver and in the manual, there are no audio settings except the Audio button for stereo/L/R. Because I have no plans to use this for FTA, I'm a bit confused about trying new firmware. I hooked up the receiver to my network, and a software update failed. For now, I've switched back to my DTV-5000.

It's possible this receiver is defective but I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. I'm using a Harmony remote, so I also could be missing an obvious hardware button. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I fixed it. The box came with custom firmware so I went back to a factory version. When that didn't work I looked at the available soft buttons on the Harmony and found a Language button which seemed promising. Turns out the second DD feed was selected by default on the muted channels. I switched it back the first feed and I have sound.

Glad you got it fixed... If you ever install other firmware (24/25/27 etc) then you will occasionally lose audio on the OTA channels. It just happens. The only thing that fixes it at that point is a hard reboot by the back power switch on the receiver box.
