Tv audio.

cammsjb — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 18:12:59 GMT

I've just had sky q installed for a tv

in the lounge linked to the sky q hub and a tv in the kitchen linked to a mini box.

The issue I have is, if the same tv programme is playing on the lounge tv and the kitchen tv there is a delay in the audio between the two tv's, lounge tv output first followed by the kitchen tv which is very annoying.

Is there an audio setting available within the sky q system to adjust the sound output so that both tv's are in sync?

@cammsjb I'm afraid it the results of physics, which can't be overridden, your Mini is receiving it's signal over wifi from the server (Main Q box) so there will inevitably be a delay in audio.

hi @cammsjb unfortunately not,

The signals from a SKY mini & main box are never likely to be in sync.

THe SKY Main box acts as a media server to the SKY mini and this takes a little processing (at both the main & mini) as well as transfer via wifi (or ethernet).

It is not the same as splitting a signal in 2

@cammsjb

No, Sky Q doesn't work like that. The mini box gets its signal from the main box and there is always going to be a delay in the signal getting from one box to the other. It's not like a multiroom speaker system like Sonos.

The only way you can get it in sync is if you have an HDMI splitter and run an HDMI cable to both TVs but that defeats the object of Sky Q, and metres of HDMI cable can cause significant degradation of picture quality (and won't work for UHD over those distances).
