Hi guys,
I posted a bit about this in the flat panel section but that may have been the wrong place. I have a new samsung c8000 plasma and u-verse. Everything is running through a pioneer elite receiver and i'm having lip sync issues on some of the HD channels. I can't peg down a specific channel as it happens intermittently on various channels. I plugged in the stb directly to the tv as well to make sure it wasn't my receiver and i still got the lip sync problem. I am assuming this is u-verse and not my tv? I see people recommending playing with the audio delay functions on the tvs and receivers- to me this is a total waste of time as you can set the sync but the sync will change from program to program or channel to channel making it necessary to constantly adjust. I didn't pay $3k for a tv and a lot more of that for surround sound to have to mess with that every time i watch tv. Is anyone else having this problem?
If i know for sure that it's uverse (which i think it is) i'm perfectly fine with changing service. I also have the audio drop out issue that many people have and quite frankly think that the picture quality is not on par with dish network.
If I do switch, is there a general consensus on dish v. directtv v. cable on picture and sound quality?
Sorry for the long question but i'm very frustrated as is my wife who keeps saying "we have over $10k worth of ht equipment only to have the voices match up with the picture" - she has a good point.
