This week i've spent three consecutive days and over three hours on the phone trying to sort out an issue with the sound on my tv box. During that time i was passed from Home Tech to Values and Sales on more than one occasion. Sean in Sales even said he'd personally "own" my problem and call me back. He didn't. Eventually, i spoke to an actual expert at tech who took the time to finally get to the bottom of what was wrong. Two of his colleagues previously just advised me to do a factory reset, the modern day equivalent of "turn it on and off".
I was offered either a new Tv box ( it would have been my third one) or a Apple TV box. Despite being offered this choice by Home tech it seems you can't change from one type of box to another mid contact. A total fiasco from start to finish, just a masterclass in passing the buck..

A factory reset is not the equivalent of "turn it on and off" (or Reboot). It's much more! A reboot is just turning the power OFF & ON. A factory reset resets all the settings of the device back to what they were when you got it.

Whatever the difference...it didn't work.

Hi @RCL999
What is your setup at home.
Do you have a soundbar/system.
Thanks

My issue has been resolved now thanks, the sound settings should have been set to surround sound as my tv has an integrated soundbar.
FYI, EE have now informed me that they have sent me an Apple TV box, despite categorically stating this could not be done.
