[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1237607, member: 82144"] I don't think you can assume that these will match. AFAIK most broadcasters don't take transmission delay into account... and if they do, it has to be an estimate. Transmission delay - the time it takes for the signal to get from the last studio output, through the transmitter encoding/processing, to the transmitter, over the physical medium (air, cable, whatever) and then finally to the receiver - [B]varies from receiver to receiver[/B] because the physical distance from the transmitter to each receiver is slightly different. Difference in distance translates to difference in time. The broadcaster can make the time absolutely accurate (ie. clock displayed on TV matches time at receiver location) for one receiver... but because all other receivers that are a different distance from the transmitter will have some [slight] inaccuracy. Yes, all receivers have different internal processing lag. As previously indicated, I don't think MP's processing lag is unreasonable. Yes, maybe it could be less if the time-shift buffer files were taken out of the chain... but that's the design we chose, and designers for all devices make such choices. [/QUOTE]
