How do you get the tv’s to sync? My tv in my living room and the tv In my kitchen are about 2 second off from each other.

My tv’s are about 2 seconds off & when we watch live events it is very annoying that 1 tv echos the other. Is there a way to fix this and sync them?

Suggest -- You turn the Volume of ONE up and the other Down --your choice -- the delay is caused by 22,000 miles up and 22,000 miles down

No, it is the processing the Genie does to stream to the mini and the time it takes for the TV to process the signal from the mini.

Hi @Ljbreece

While there is no way to synchronize them for good, since as @shannon02 explained the delay is cased by the signal being sent from the main Genie to Minis, the one tip that I have is to just briefly pause your main TV for a moment and resume playback to match the other TV. It's hard to get it perfectly, but you can easily get them close enough for most situation.

Thanks,

Dmitriy
