Yes, the lack of an S-Video o/p can be an issue with higher end systems. It's on the list of things to fix .....<br /><br />I'm curious about the lip-sync issue, we have been particularly careful with the movie network channels, we have an uncompressed (270 Mbps SDI) fibre optic feed from their playout facility to our teleport, they only get compressed once and are digital end to end. So, lip sync should not be an issue (doesn't mean that it isn't).<br /><br />Can you help me out - what channels and event suffer this problem?<br /><br />It's not unusual for MPEG decoders to loose their PTS lock and get audio out of sync with video. Have you tried re-booting your STB when this happens?
