Lip-Synch Problems on Pace DTVA

I'm having lip-synch problems on some digital channels (notably ITV1 and Ch5) whereby sound is lagging seriously behind picture - looks like it's been badly dubbed.
Anyone else having problems - my transmitter is Sandy Heath. Is it likely to be the box or the broadcast?
Downloaded the TUTV software update a few days's back - could this have casued this? Seems unlikely but it is a bit coincidental.
Any advice gratefully received.

To get by, I power the box off via the remote and then back on again and then all is well for a while
Begs the question - Why didn't you test it BEFORE releasing the TUTV update ?????
I would suggest everyone drops them an email to chase it up.

"We are currently investigating this issue and hope to have a fix available in a future download. "
it goes on to say
"It is planned the download (due to the investigation
and testing that is needed) will take place sometime before the end of the year."
The TUTV update doesn't seem to have made any difference to it, just jumping off the channel and then back on cures it like it always did...
My original software was the Feb 2003 release... (can't remember the number, sorry...)

My problem has definatley only occurred since the upgrade.
It's listed as: 11/11/04 - 13/11/04 - Pace - TBA - Provisional
Does anyone know, from Pace themselves or anywhere else, if this is a fix for the DTVA problems? Surely it can't just be a repeat of the TUTV update or it would say this?
Here's hoping...
- Can't change from C4 using number keypad. Can only change using channel up/down keys.
- Sound and picture sometimes out of sync. Most noticable on C4.
- DTVA no longer sends wide-screen signal. Definitely did before TUTV upgrade. Programs on TiVo prove it.
I'll let the forum know what they say (if anything).My Pace DVTA tells my TV (at least it seems to) to show 16:9 full widescreen and to border 4:3 stuff or is that my TV being clever?
Unfortunately it says "V1.9.108 Repeat" against it now.
How many more times are Pace going to broadcast faulty software? They know the software is faulty and yet persist in sending it out - is this a breach of the Computer Misuse Act?
Probably more a fulfilment of their contract with TopUpTV - remember that TUTV have paid (in part at least) for this update to be produced in the first place and that deal will have included several airings.
But you're right it's pretty disappointing they haven't corrected the bugs yet. Maybe it was the original plan, otherwise why was this update listed originally as 'TBC'? Maybe they just didn't get the bugs fixed in time for the on-air slot?
Pace have replied to my mail to say that the sound sync and wide-screen switching are directly related to the upgrade. They hope to broadcast a software fix by the end of the year. I can return the box to Pace to have the old software re-installed if I like.
They had not come across my problems of moving from C4 using the number keypads, but they say they will try some tests to see if they can see it. I await their reply :rolleyes:.
Not that I am aware of. Try emailing them : dtva@pacemicro.com
