Default Converter Boxes sending out Chipmunk audio?

I've seen some people with boxes that when the picture breaks up from the signal being so weak the audio starts to skip and sounds like a chipmunk. Which box does this?

Are you sure it wasn't a DVR, thought I saw that somewhere else about a DVR recording digital signals and the audio getting messed up some how.
