Solving playback issues

[Edtravelling]

I wrote directly to the Tennis Channel. Their reply was a basic canned response showing steps of me rebooting the Roku, rebooting the TV, etc. They took no responsibility that there was any issue. Clearly they are either not coordinated or they’re just ignoring all of our feedback.

Yeah, I’ve been back and forth with them, sent them details on my system as they requested, then canned replies. But on one I got this:

You can contact us via phone at 1-855-2VOLLEY (1-855-286-5539), chat with a live agent, or email our team by submitting a ticket or replying on the same thread. 

I haven’t had a chance yet but everyone, call when you can

YES…still having this problem on our black icon Tennis Channel app on Roku. Audio and video synced in the first few minutes, and then they unsync. Roku and TENNIS CHANNEL - we are paying $120 for our annual TC subscription and plenty for our Roku subscription, and this is completely unacceptable. PLEASE RESOLVE NOW, or please refund our subscription fees.

It’s not the tennis channel problem. Roku is the problem because my fire stick tvs and my dish rv satellite work just fine. It only happens on ROKU equipment.

It does only happen with Roku, that's true, but on Roku it ONLY happens with the Tennis Channel.  It doesn't happen on ESPN or ESPN+, on NBC or Fox Sports etc etc. And it all started when Tennis Channel went through its remake whenever that was, Spring? There's a glitch in how its delivering through Roku, or something like that....

It doesn't *only* happen on Roku devices. I joined this forum because I couldn't find any other place discussing this issue, but I use an AppleTV device and the audio lag happens consistently on that device as well. I can't watch live events or replays unless I rewind or forward after every game of a set so the audio will sync. This is definitely some issue on the Tennis Channel's end. If they don't have an arbitration clause, we should consider initiating a class action for this. It's false advertising and breach of contract to say the Tennis Channel works on our devices and it doesn't.

Wow!  Counter-clockwise circle on remote fixed synch of video with audio.  Such a simple solution!

I didn't even know what the button was for.  

Still though, this problem is ONLY the tennis channel.  Why can't Roku/Tennis channel put their head together and solve this problem.

Woops.  Commercial happened, and audio/video out of synch again.

I push the button.  It's fixed!  (Until next commercial of course)

@kev1433, that's the Instant Replay button.  It jumps back 30 seconds and immediately starts playing again.
