I hooked up yesterday and...

The picture is crystal clear...but...

The sound is BAD; very bad - bordering on HORRIBLE; especially because it is a digital transmission...

And before some one suggest it, I have hooked it up to my Marantz PM4200 stereo amp and out through the Mission M71 speakers [via IXOS interconnects and speaker cables all with gold plugs]; In other words, I listen through a fairly good sound system.

It sounds like a movie from the 1960s!

Now this sound problem, The TV Volume has to be fuuuuuuuull paka mmwisho yawa. What is the solution. Smart TV was worse you could have full volume and still hear whispers, ZUKU is not an exemption near full volume and still just whispers, Star times is almost like Smart TV (it collapsed) full volume and almost zero sound, how is sound quality for GO Tv.

Yeah, until all their channels start repeating programmes! I've had it for two years and now I never see anything new on any channel... everything is a repeat - yak!

Never experienced that with Zuku TV. Reminds me though of a time when someone had set the maximum sound of DSTV in the settings to real low and however much I tried to increase the volume it could not be loud enough. Maybe the same thing happened to you with Zuku TV.
