Help me... Audio Sync. Any fix?

[Antix]

2nd week in a row, Smallville has recorded offset from it's audio...

It's like watching a bad bad old kung fu movie!

It's driving me nuts! DirecTV had me do a full install, killing all of my settings and erasing all of my "season passes" as well as all of my recordings a couple weeks back.

Now this is with 119, which downloaded last night, the machine did it's reboot, and all looked good until Smallville tonight.

All in all, its not as bad as last week where it locked up during the recording of Smallville, and even then the audio was offset.

Is there a fix?

Are you only having this problem on your CW channel? How are you receiving this channel (over-the-air or from DirecTV)? Most likely it's a problem with the local station if you're only having this problem on that channel.

I'm in Los Angeles, and I have two CBS, two NBC, two ABC, one CW, one FOX, one My13 sitting in the 2 thru 13 slots. There are also HD clones up in the 70's, but no CW up there. I believe these are the Mpeg4 channels?

I will have to check some of my other local HD recordings from the same night. If it is just CW with this problem, why is that? Why did it help (albeit for only a short period of time) when the rep had me reset the system? CW seemed fine for a short period of time after that. I'd like to avoid a system reset in the future, as the thing loses my settings and recordings and series recording settings (lame!).

Here is something I wrote up about lip sync. But as one of the above posters already stated, it probably lies with the local channel's feed to DirecTV:
