We've got Sky - just the basic setup.
The box is from just over a year ago - a silver unit (not sure if that helps identify its make/model) and it has been more or less OK.
Actually when I compare the box to my parents very old Pace box this one is so quick....
Anyway, I was watching LivingTV the other evening and started getting an extremely bad case of "out of sync" - the video and sound were both great but there was a delay between the video and sound.
I cannot even say it was a tiny bit out of sync, this was all very noticeable.
However the issue certainly isn't on all channels.
If I switch over to say Sky 1 then that was absolutely fine, in fact most other channels are OK.
So far I've only noticed it on LivingTV (and +1), Reality TV, VH1 and a few others I cannot remember off the top of my head.
Just over a year ago I still lived in an NTL area and we had cable TV rather than satellite.
After a while we would notice out of sync issues with the NTL setup and we found totally powering down the NTL box for a couple of minutes and then bringing it up seemed to solve the problem - we had to kind of do this once a week and everything remained in sync.
Should I report this issue to Sky or is this a known issue that really they aren't going to be able to fix?
I'm out of warranty on the Sky box now anyway - however is it a known issue with only some of the boxes, so if I bought a different one from EBay I may not experience the same problem?
