FYI, there's a simple piece of commercial equipment in use today to adjust for lip sync errors. All it requires is someone to input the signal into it, adjust it, and then monitor the output. Master control at the final broadcast point could do this if directed to. That would take care the simple stuff like a live program. The networks do this all the time when their anchors are on remotes. It just takes someone to make that decision to do it and an operator that cares enough to monitor it.
