RE: [OT]Sky+

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob,

I've noticed lip synch issues over the last few weeks/couple of months. I
h=
ave a Sky+ v1 box which never had the problem before. I think this must be
=
to do with one of the software updates????

I never really worried about it though as my amp has a programmable delay
o=
ption for each channel - I just increased the delay to get it back in
synch=
. Would be VERY annoying for me too though if I didn't have this feature.

Is anyone else noticing this - sorry if you haven't up till now - you may
d=
o after reading this!

Paul.
