Maybe our TV and TiVo are unique, because I cannot find any other description on the internet or here on the Tivo forums, about the clicking.

We haven't been watching SBS regularly for most of this year, but found that "War of the Worlds" held our attention for it's duration.

We were disappointed with the ending, still thinking there was more to come, though not thrilled with it's illogical 'aliens robots', it was acceptable to watch to find out where it was going.

Anyway, we became quite intrigued with the background noise to the eerie quietness, like a static clicking noise, throughout the episodes.

We accepted this noise as part of the soundtrack, especially as the alien invasion was based on some sort of electromagnetic attack to destroy or disable electronic and electrical systems.

In the silence of the soundtrack, the clicking noises sounded like residual static and part of the effect.

Well, having now listened to our recordings of BBC News, we find the clicking noises are on there too.

Maybe this is a new background audio effect being used by program and video producers and especially SBS?

Having read the 'screeching' thread running on this forum, I wonder if this clicking effect is caused by the same audio from SBS.

Anyone else get this?
