I have the MDC remote and also the Cable co. remote both
will do the same sound, also if I go to cale box channel
up/down will makes the same sound. But If I connect the
cable box to the TV I don't have that sound. Also same
cable box was hooked to viewsonic decoder before so my
son can see TV in his old PC which did not have MCE in
and wasn't any problem. the previous monitor was also
LCD.

Cable co came out and they didn't fix it.
