Has anyone noticed that when viewing ITV High Definition Programmes that the sound is not always in sync? This is more noticeable on outside broadcasts, or is it a problem with my TV Set?
-
I noticed it a couple of times when I first had mine but not recently. It will be Sky, not your set. In the early days of Sky TV it was normal for sound to be out of sync.
-
I can't receive HD yet, so can't help, sorry. :bawl:
-
I can't comment on ITV because there never seems to be anything on that channel which we wish to watch. However, we get problems with BBC1 HD programmes breaking up. I suspect the broadcasting infrastructure can't cope with this new technology.
-
This area has traditionally always been the last to get broadcasting goodies, and Freeview HD won't arrive here until March 2012, so two days ago I bought myself a Humax Foxsat HD set top satellite box to experience Freesat HD in all its glory. There is an option to correct synch problems in the setup menu, but I haven't needed to use it.
From my experience so far, I'd have to say HD is a bit of a disappointment really. There's currently only four HD channels - and they don't always transmit in HD. I suppose I could improve the situation by giving 30 quid a month to that loathsome pariah Murdoch, but hey...
-
Same here, Rod. 2012 for Freeview HD, what there is of it. I certainly wouldn't pay extra for it, because I hardly watch TV these days anyway.

Down here at the arse-end of civilisation we still don't have Channel 5 on terrestrial telly. (https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv300%2FMothballs%2FSmileys%2Ftv2.gif&hash=104fefa1fcb3b5fec0e71862be40883b65253083)

I actually enjoyed watching a programme on C5 the other night.

You're not missing anything.

I recently subscribed to Sky HD because they were giving away £100 of M&S vouchers. Frankly, it makes lots of things worse - particularly close-ups of presenters faces. Every zit and blackhead is visible and slightly stomach-churning.

I guess your right. I havent got Sky, but Ive got Freesat via Humax Box, but I realise that the signal is coming from one of Sky satellites.

Ive got that Humax Box, but does it alter the Sync for all time or is it automatic correction where necessary?
-
Well, according to the spanish waiter, it will stay set like that until you change it again. viz: "Lip-Sync is applied to all channels when once adjusted."
-
I see you ignored your mother's advice not to pull faces in the wind, Rod. :)x
-
And risk getting another smack in the face with the frying-pan? No way!

:hehe:

Hes been a victim of lipsync gone wrong!

Sure, but you have to admit there's not much wrong with my finger-sync. (https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv300%2FMothballs%2FSmileys%2Ffinger.gif&hash=2beea84608f9af75f75eaccec5067df90ec3f873)

we just got a HD telly, I got a nice Samsung one - well pleased with it - HD of my USB device, why do I need to watch live TV?
-
Congratulations Sam-Hope you enjoy it.
Live TV is a load of cheap crap. I mainly watch films or documentarys that I record from Freesat.
I had a discussion with Kenneth Kendall a few months back when he was in my shop, and he said that when he was r eading the news on BBC the entertainers were there to be employed, but there just not there now.
-
Nice one, Sam. :)
-
yeah I'm well pleased with it. First LCD TV I've owned too.
-
just a shame I don't get to use it in the week when I'm in a different city. Oh well t'other one gets to use it.
-
I also got HDMI cable to it from my Xbox, FIFA has never looked so amazing before.

And in other news Kenneth Kendall is still alive. He must be well into his eighties by now! :D

Hd is ok for newer movies and sports filmed in HD
Twof my favorites in HD are Avatar and the last airbender
It does bring out the colors in those
-
Avatar and the last airbender

-
The films

:o:

He is. He featured in a TV programme last year in which a number of elderly celebrities lived in a house which had been designed specifically to represent their hey-day and make them feel young again. I think the other celebrities were Sylvia Syms, Dickie Bird, Derek Jameson, Lionel Blair and Liz Smith. Anyway, it was great to see how invigorated they were at the end of their stay. Kenneth Kendall even felt up to owning a dog again, as he had done in his younger day.

The Isle of Wight must be good for you. :)

oops sorry posted in wrong topic :blush:

He used to own three Dachsunds, and regularly bought his dog food from me. Sadly they have passed away. He has now got a new Puppy, a cross Terrier, and takes her for a walk in the local park with Kenneth in his new electric buggy and the puppy along side. He is 87, but looks almost the same as he used to but with a few more age lines. Got more hair than me-baa!
