The gray black thing seems to be due to the chip set, because my PopCornHour does the same thing (I think it is only on MPEG4 HD channels), and I think the Azbox uses the same chip set for video. I'm guessing that the audio thing must be hardware related as well, or they would have fixed it long ago. Audio is fine through the HDMI output, however.

BTW, is your computer connected to the Azbox via network? If so, you can load the firmware on the thumbdrive by plugging the thumbdrive into the Azbox, and transferring the file via FTP.

I have been able to get stereo audio via the optical output running it through a stand alone box but that hass its own problems since said box has been known to turn itself off for no good reason at all making and thing recorded on timer have no audio.

I have not been able to figure out how to get the AZbox to get hooked up to the internet or anything else. Such as the using it to record programmes- have an external Betamax deck for that. I have no computer network at home. It did not come with an instruction manual and one someone sent me in an email is bigger than the free space on my hard drive. Plus i think it was in an unreadbale format.
