I recently bought a new LCD TV (LG 37") and, since then, when I press pause there is a few seconds delay before the programme actually pauses!

The problem has only manifested itself since swapping the tv, which is connected via an HDMI cable (as was the old one) and, apart from a new tv, nothing else has changed.

Any ideas anyone?

That is normal. Especially noticable on the HD channels,

Sorry, the problem should have read "the picture pauses immediately, but the sound carries on for a few seconds".

Sorry for any confusion - senior moment!

Still normal for Hd channels using AC3 audio. If it bothers you turn off Dolby Digital in the TV setup menu.

OK, thanks for that - doesn't really bother me, just wondered what was causing it.
