805642 2009-08-31 10:21:00 When I watch TV3 on Freeview the lip sync has all gone awry. It only happens on TV3, and it only happens when I watch the digital broadcast. Has anyone else experienced this? Tony (4941)
805643 2009-08-31 10:24:00 Don't worry to much that happens sometimes it's not your fault tv3's tranmission goes out of sync it happens on sky to as well so no worry.
Just do a reset of your decoder unplug it and plug it back in sometimes that works and if not then ring tv3.

What happens if I call TV3 - and do I just talk to the switchboard or ask for a particular department?

805645 2009-08-31 10:32:00 Ring freeview first and ask if they are aware of the problem, failing that ring tv3 and ask for a technical person not the switchy you will get nowhere.
If you have freeview built in turn your tv off for 1 minute and back on again that might fix it.

805646 2009-08-31 10:38:00 Yeah I notice it sometimes as will. Mainly on TV1 news items. I don't worry about it as it corrects itself.

805647 2009-08-31 10:46:00 It is simply due to the fact that on the way down from the satellite to your TV the picture and sound get accelerated to a pretty fast clip. Naturally the picture can go quicker than the speed of sound ;) R2x1 (4628)
805648 2009-08-31 10:48:00 Hmm it happens with the USB tuner on this as well. I thought it was the power settings in Vista. Obviously it isnt. 1 and 3 go out of sync (its fine at the mo tho). I'm not using satellite tho, so that shot that theory Speedy Gonzales (78)

I'm not using satellite tho, so that shot that theoryIt only happens to me on 3, and I'm on the terrestrial broadcast as well. It has been happening for me on 3 for a week or so now - I just finally got fed up with it :). I also notice it happens mostly with the live programs (e.g. news) rather than other stuff. I've turned my TV off at the wall and back on, so I'll report back when Nightline starts in 30 mins. Tony (4941)
805650 2009-08-31 11:06:00 When you say sync issues, how long is the delay? bob_doe_nz (92)
805651 2009-08-31 11:13:00 When you say sync issues, how long is the delay?Enough to be really irritating - not to mention distracting. Maybe 0.5 secs - or less. It does vary a bit. Tony (4941)
