Slightly odd question, I know.

I have just connected two TV's to a Sky box via a Neet splitter and extender system and there's a delay - which you might expect, but here's the rub, it's the TV at the far end which is ahead. The two TV's are within audible distance of each other, so now it's like listening to them in St Paul's. I put the delay in the 'local' end down to the Samsung processing the hell out of the signal compared to the little Sony at the far end.

Is there such a thing as a little box that can delay a signal? I would plug that in the far end and then match the two. Any other ideas (other than turn them both down...)?

Annoyingly it seems to vary from channel to channel. I guess I could change all the settings in the Samsung, but that would be even more annoying. Ah well, guess we'll have to live with it!

The Samsung is a D8000 and is probably 3 years old. Haven't checked the firmware - good point. Can't remember what model the Sony is, but I'm about to stick a W7 in its place as we want something a bit bigger. Will see how that goes.
