Still a lot of testing going on... I haven't noticed it myself for a while now. How's it going for you? :)

Re: Sound out of synch on BBC HD
 
Hi DF - I have to admit not bad. HD channels seem fairly stable at the moment. BBCHD has been watchable. Channel5 has had that known problem. I think the big test will be Strictly Come Dancing which I will be forced to watch tonight by she who must be obeyed :( . That programme has been notoriously bad in the past (and the synch has been dodgy as well).

It seems that my keeping tabs on Virgin CS Forum has shown it is not an isolated problem.

Thanks to you and Virgin team, for following this issue.:tu:

Hi - I watched a recorded Gadget Show from C5HD last night. The lip synch was terrible, almost un watchable. Strictly recorded on Friday was fine until the recording failed after 30mins, but I guess that's a whole new thread.

I look forward to Virgin resolving the synch issue soon.

Oh yes there is the V+ reliability issues thread. ;)

The common issue is reboots and partial recordings when watching HD Channels.

I'm still experiencing lip sync problems with BBC HD via surround sound. Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday (not my choice of viewing - honest!) was out by just enough to be irritating. Sky Sports 2 HD also out on Sunday. Problem always seems to be with live studio broadcasts.

I have intermittent sound breaks in all channels at the moment

New to this so treat me gently!! I have a new Samsung B6000 tv that I have hooked up to my existing Sony DAV 1S home theatre systme and my Samsung Virgin+ HD box. I was having problems with HD being out of sync (ITV HD mostly but other channels too) and assumed that I had set up incorrectly but having checked and after reading this I don't think the fault is mine.

I'm in the Bristol area if geography helps at all?!

Cheers

I've found the lip sync problem on Comedy Central HD so bad that I've given up with it. There's some good stuff on the channle and I was looking forward to the return of 30 Rock, but if they don't sort out the sound problem it looks like I will be watching the 4:3 SD version rather than the new HD version :(

Was terrible on X Factor on Saturday night. Looked like they were all bad at miming.
This is a Samsung box and I previously say it on a SA box so seems like it's a HD issue and not specific to a box

I was watching Couple Retreat yesterday morning on Sky Premier HD and had to switch to SD to watch it as the audio was so out of sync. ****es you off when you pay extra for the HD channels, then can't use them because the audio is out!

Hi Ropey,
Also new to this forum!Also live in Bristol, also have new Samsung TV (altho its a 3D model - cost £1097 so was shocked also to find sync problems with HD channels - only really noticed it on ITVHD at the mo.
Didnt notice problems when V+HD Box was set up with Sony TV which was only 3 years old.
Have read that you can change Audio Lip sync on boxes and/or TV's - will have look later.
Have not noticed problem with every programme on ITVHD but only a few - surely this would indicate particular transmission related issues?
