Thanks for the responses. I did the same at a Vidéotron store to listen to their unit...same noise but in a crowded room seems less noticeable. Mine was in an open area...not obstructed as well. But in a silent living room I can hear it in my kitchen. While watching tv, during silent scenes, it’s extremely noticeable. Maybe I just hear too well! And it’s something that annoys me. So I am returning the 2nd Samsung pvr and decided to go with the technicolor non pvr 4K terminal. Recording shows or pausing live tv is something I rarely do. I much rather have a quieter terminal with the same great image quality rather than listen to that constant HD spinning. Should receive it tomorrow.
Thanks
