I'm curious how you have been able to determine that the *source* a/v is out of sync? It seems to me that Time Sync codes and what-not should be pretty reliable at the source, and that playback can sometimes fall in/out of sync depending on the method of playback. Seems a bit odd, and certainly nothing like what I've experienced for any of my HD or SD OTA broadcast streams. -- John <>< _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
