Optical connection is a no go and sound has to come from the TV as we don't used the Humax for everything. Thinking of just disconnecting the Humax and just using the TV directly connected to the aerial with a HDD grabbing of the back.
Thanks for your help, but as lipsync trails video and slows down even further with DD there needs to come a time with the broadcasters look to transmit audio with a lead on the video. This could then able users to slow it down using the controls provided on nearly every TV, PVR and sound bar.
That will never work. The decoding of the compressed video data always takes longer than the audio. That would cause issues for anyone who does not have the problem.
The audio on my Panasonic TV is normally muted. I just unmuted it and the Dolby Digital stream is perfectly in sync. I have a recording of both the synch test and the 5.1 channel location the BBC used to transmit along with the test card. The synch is bang on.
My better half can detect a tiny lip synch error.
Any box you buy will have the same issue as they use the same source.
