    Default SBS Out of Sync

    I'm watching Insight on SBS SE via C1 Aurora, is anyone else finding the video and audio are about 0.5-1 sec out of sync? Seems the same for SBS Qld, but not SBS WA

    Odd

    yep I have the same problem on SBS SE and has been like this for a week, but not on other SBS stations.

    What's the fix or is it SBS up link to the Satellite

    I heard that before and it lasted either the whole show or when they went to a break it came good after that.
    There was something regarding this happening when they send the video by one means (microwave) and the audio by landline and they can get out of sync so they had to 'delay' one to the other to fix.We havent a clue at times where a signal may start from and the path it takes before it reaches a satelitte uplink.

    G'Day Cobbers,
    Surely you remember some of the old movies showing the taking of various scenes. They used a " Clapper Board " with ' Take 6, Scene 9 ' etc. to synchronise the sound with the film. Many live news programs do not have that luxury or the editing staff are incompetent.
    I'm afraid this cavalier attitude is rampant these days when staff do not have pride in their work or are hard pressed with time frames to go to air.
    It has nothing to do with Propagation of their signals in space. Takes the same time for a video and audio signal, but only if they go by the same path.
    Kindest Regards, " The Druid "....

    Their new playout system is probably the problem.
    Serves SBS right for all those erectile adverts.

    They had no transmission during the first half of the 6:30 news on Monday night so maybe they are having a few issues atm.

    This has been happening for at least 3 weeks, maybe more.

    Makes me wonder whats going on with them, I guess funding is on the light side.

    If it was channel 10, it would be recitifed in less than 2 mins. Go figure

    On the few times I watch SBS I have also noticed the "Burbling sound", I thought that the speaker in the TV may be going mechanical and couldn't understand why it wasn't happening on other channels.

    Should just turn off the sound and read the sub titles.
