the audio never synchs with the video



toggletoggle post by xanonymousx at Jul 23,2006 6:37pm
hmmm.... comcast?
comcast always has communication errors.
home many spits do you have in your house you may need a cable amplifier



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 23,2006 6:40pm
I think the line has 0



toggletoggle post by xanonymousx at Jul 23,2006 6:44pm
thats odd
maybe they are working on it in your area?



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 23,2006 7:06pm
for the past 2 1/2 years?

that long!? have you ever called them up to see what the problem is?
i mean you are paying extra to have some extra pixels of pure hd greatness.

fuck comcast.

INTERNETS!

the basic channels are fine, but the ones that broadcast normal cable encoded for digital are so off.

also, digital cable lags behind analog cable by 8 seconds. everything's in synch

1) you live in a condo, don't you? More than likely the cable coming into the building is split 50 million ways, much like here in my own condo.

2) Set up your cable! go into your settings menu and make sure you're not set up for digital video and analogue audio or something like that.

3) call your cable company and tell them the problem. It might be a converter in your box gone bad, or something equally simple.

1) nope, each condo has it's own line coming in from the street

2) hm.. I'll have to look at that.

3) I will after #2. Fox is always like that.

1) For real? You lucky, LUCKY bastard. I get shit internet speed, and my cable blows. I pay for a second digital box in my room, but the on demand feature won't work. They said theres nothing they can do, because the signal is spliced so many times that they get lost on the way. It's that way in most condo and apartments.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 24,2006 7:56pm
aw.. you are making me blush.
you say the sweetest things about my cable



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Jul 24,2006 8:00pm
it's because our condo only has 5 units =)

get an amplifer and put it on your line

the only HD channel that does not synch up is fox through my Comcast HD box, other than that comcast and HDTV rules



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 24,2006 8:54pm
and fox is the only one that counts.
so it's not just me?
that's good.



toggletoggle post by MattKings at Jul 24,2006 8:59pm
yea its actually FOXs problem now that i think of it. I sell TVs at sears and we would get FOXHD right off a HD antenna and the audio did not synch up either.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 24,2006 9:04pm
maybe it's just a feature that we can't understand?



toggletoggle post by powerkok   at Jul 24,2006 9:10pm
not mine, mine rules....



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jul 24,2006 9:11pm
yours doesn't have this awesome advanced feature? I feel sorry for you



toggletoggle post by DrinkHardThrashHard  at Jul 24,2006 9:14pm
For real? When I move to the new condo I was thinking of getting this with the new TV....is it worth the extra bucks?



toggletoggle post by MattKings at Jul 24,2006 11:15pm
yes it is, HDTV is awesome



toggletoggle post by dertoxia   at Jul 24,2006 11:21pm
it's not that your tv audio isnt synched with the video......your eyes arent synched with your ears. meat skewer up the nose should do the trick.

Whenever experiencing difficulty with your cable service, as in , there is a simple, yet effective solution. Phone your cable company, and schedule an appointment for a repairman to come and service your house. When he arrives, dismember him and run some of his parts through a meat grinder. CArefully stuff natural pork casings with the meat, eventually incorporating it into a gift basket you leave on the steps of some executives at the cable company.

I don't know, just an idea.

its not comcasts fault, its definitly fox. Ive seen HD Fox on a bunch of feeds, dish, comcast and antenna, and its all the same in this area. done
