    I'm seeing the time in the EPG getting mixed up a bit over the last week or so though. Sometimes an hour fast, sometimes correct.

    That's been the case for months now. More often the time is 1 hour behind (GMT?) rather than correct.

    Strange, I'm seeing the "wall clock" time an hour fast or correct. For example if I set the timer for CSI at 21:00 the tv will switch on at 20:00 (Sony Bravia). I've only noticed this within the last month but I saw posts a while back complaining of the wrong time (fast or slow, I don't remember). I wasn't seeing the same problem back then....but I only watch the box for an hour or 2 in the evening.

    Three Rock is back alright but the Service type must have been changed again to possibly 0x16 -didnt check the stream with TSreader - but an LZD81 wouldnt scan freshly.

    I suggest you switch off your network messages on the panisonics so that it wont rescan and lose CH54.

    Can someone confirm if the audio is out of sync on TV3 from mt leinster, or is just me?

    Also, The times on the EPG seem to be an hour ahead of the real times. Is this the case for everyone?

    TV3 finally seems to be setting the correct aspect ratio on its programming. 4:3 panscan actually works now. Previously, it looked like 4:3 in 4:3 letterbox -- awful.

    I noticed the picture is out of sync with the audio on RTE 1 from Spur Hill the other night. Not sure if the other channels are affected.

    Any plans to fix this RTENL engineers?

    I wonder why that is? Maybe its being done on purpose to stop us watching before the 'ofeeshal' launch.

    Its interesting that none of the papers have commented on the tests using the 'waste of taxpayers money' angle transmitting the channels for months before launch.

    Is anyone still having problems with lip sync? I don't think mine has been in sync for months. I'm tuned to 794MHz on a ClarkTech 5000C. I'm not sure which transmitter I'm using because we are equidistant between Three Rock, Clermont Carn and Carn Hill.

    Also the 7 day EPG isn't quite right. It loses some program titles to be replace with the text "(null)". The times and program descriptions are all correct - the problem is only with the titles. I'm not sure if these issues are just with the Clark Tech. Everything was perfect when it was MPEG2. Thanks

    The null problem was fixed by a recent firmware update, you can get the latest release here. A bonus is that the switching time between channels has been halved as well, now 1 and 2s for mpg2 and mpg4 respectively.:D
    Haven't seen any lip sync problems recently from CC but noticed this morning that TV3 has gone back to a test signal. Pity because they only recently switched to a proper widescreen picture from a stretched 4:3:mad:

    I agree on the "null" issue. Was fixed by installing 179 firmware. However I feel that RTE1 is slightly loose on lip sync on DTT but looks fine on SKY. TV3 is on colour bars from Three Rock at the moment. Also digital subtitle not available on DTTas yet.

    All fine on all channels from 3Rock. Previous issue (mostly with TV3) resolved.

    Thanks for the help. Clark Tech EPG sorted after firmware upgrade to 1.79. Also ITV HD working perfectly for the first time.
    Channels on 794MHz are all down tonight so perhaps this was coming from Kippure.
