It's a Tivo thing unfortunately. No sync issues at all on the V+ HD box in the other room.

no lip sync issues here, how is Tivo connected to the TV?
Some amps and particularly 'optical out' connections add the delay, good amps and TV's should automatically compensate for the delay.
I have my Tivo hooked up to a Onkyo Amp via HDMI and no noticeable sync issues for me.

I have no sync issues on HD channels on either of my TiVo boxes.

I only ever seem to see any issue while watching itv1 HD at the weekends. Generally no problem on other HD channels however I do use an Onkyo AV receiver which has as sync option switched on.

HDMI direct to TV, Tivo via coaxial to Denon A/V amp. Sync problems whether listening to TV audio or via amp. The V+ HD box was hooked up identically to the same TV and amp with no issues before it got moved. Problem is obviously with the Tivo box - I'll see if VM will swap it out.

I've only seen sync issues once or twice, usually pretty minimal. Did ruin my recorded version of The Fight Of Their Lives on ITV1 HD last week though, which was a shame. Hearing fists land 200ms or so after it happens visually is plain weird.

Never had sync issues on TiVo and mine is hooked up via HDMI to my amp.

To the OP: what do you mean when it's connected via Coaxial to your amp? What lead is it?

Re: Is there any word yet on when VM will address the sync problem on the HD channels
 
Maybe he means an optical cable into one of these? I'm planning to get one myself as my 5.1 amp only has one optical and one co-axial.

No sync issues here either. Digital Optical from Tivo to Panasonic Home Theatre.

None here - HDMI from TV to amp, HDMI from BluRay to amp, HDMI out from amp to TV (LCD).

I meant I was talking nonsense, sorry. Both the V+HD and the Tivo were connected via Optical cable to the A/V amp, but HDMI direct to TV. Most of our viewing is TV audio only, amp only really gets turned on for BR discs. Whether listening via the TV speakers or through the amp into the surround kit, there is significant delay on all the HD channels. Didn't do it with the V+ box, does it with Tivo. Unless things improve, it will go back in the New Year and we'll stick to the V+HD box until VM iron out the problem.

Is it only 5.1 that has the problem or is it all audio? There isn't a general fault with 5.1 audio on TiVo.

Is there anything on your amp you can change? Any delay setting etc?

Don't listen via the amp as a rule. Pretty much all TV viewing done with sound from the TV speakers only, so 5.1 not an issue here. Absolutely identical set-up with the V+HD box that preceded the Tivo, but with no sync issues whatsoever. I'd say that narrows things down to an issue with the Tivo box, but I'm no expert!! :erm:

Ok, might have faulty TiVo there then. Would suggest a call to TiVo faults, unless Spiderplant can advise further? :)

Well... you could try changing the Dolby setting on the TiVo (maybe your V+ had the opposite setting). And make sure you don't have Audio Description turned on.

Which is ahead - the audio or video?

Got my TiVO connected to Yamaha av receiver via HDMI no lip sync issues. Yamaha sets the lip sync delay in the auto set up with the mic.

Nice, you must have one of those proppa pukka home cinema beasts with a bunch of HDMIs and Component inputs right? Which make/model?

There was a few lip sync issues few months back on the football on sky Sports HD channels. But they are snorted now.
