dear when is the huntshaw cross transmitter going to get its hd channels working correctly. i a tv with
a separate hd tuner and all the channels have lip sync problems, the voice is out of sync with mouth.
everything is fine with the other sd transmissions, i have a freesat box and the hd channels are fine.
this only started about about 2 wks ago. i went onto my local tv shop in barnstaple and they told me
that you have a software problem, is this correct and how long will it take to fix.
regards

I have the same the same problem as Alan Fletcher ie lip sync. The difference is that I have full HD smart TV.
It has been fine up to a couple of days ago, now cannot watch any HD channels.
