[quote=BARONTWANGLE,279928]I live in Guangzhou and have cable television in my apartment. I have about 90 channels to choose from, yet not one of them has the correct lip sync. Most of them have the sound about half a second behind the picture, but some are over a second out. This is obviously an error on behalf of the cable company, but after a year, they haven't seemed to have noticed. I have explained this to a couple of local friends, including my girlfriend who lives with me, and they don't see what the problem is! They can't understand why I would want to watch TV and have the sound and picture in sync. I tell them it looks ridiculous when someone's mouth is moving, but the words they are speaking don't correspond, and they say I am being "too picky"!!!!!!!. Television was invented to broadcast pictures and sound in syncronisation, so it poses the question - what the hell is going on? Obviously not one person out of the millions who view this company's output has complained, and the technical team at this company don't seem to think it is a problem. Are standards really that low in China? This is such an easy problem to solve, and I have often thought about going to their broadcast centre and showing them how to solve the problem myself. Does anyone have any similar experiences?[/quote]
