Are you using Terrestrial, Digital, or Foxtel/Austar ?

My guess is that the sync is out on the dubbing in the program that is being transmitted. I've noticed it, especially on some dvds too.

Do you mean that film that started straight after the Warriors thrashed Souths?
Dubbing was so far out I thought it was a German one dubbed over

Nah, no particular program really but i only tend to watch a bit of news cos everything else is shite.

i don't have foxtel so i suppose its either digital or terrestrial.

Just wondered if anyone else had noticed.

I think the sound and picture leave the station together but some of the less expensive digital equipment loses the synch. I had all those problems with my first combined DVD set top box, it was very cheap; later I bought a rather more expensive DVD with hard disk recorder and all the problems were solved.

I've read that in UK there is a problem with digital radio, in every tuner there is a processing delay, this makes the time pips (Greenwich time signal), late by half a second or so; not that it would worry me now, being retired to within half an hour or even a day is close enough.
