Strange Audio problem

I just put a second tv in my basement. On the other end of my basement i have a projector hooked up to my HD LG receiver.  I noticed that on the second tv i just put in, the timing is off. The second tv is hooked up to my D* receiver. There is a few second delay between the two if im watching the same show.
This could be annoying during a Packer game.
Is there anyway around this? I tried hooking up the 2nd tv to the LG receiver via the coax output. That didnt work all i can get is the standard signals to that tv and the timing is still off.
I assume this is all because of the delay with the satellites and just the general difference between digital tv signals and sat. signals... Am i right? :(

You are going to have to feed both TV's from one reciever...

I have the same issue with my main TV and my living room TV. One is on a digital HD box and one is on analog cable. A two to three second audio difference. The HD digital box is behind.

I think if you had both on the same kind of box, it would resolve the issue.

It seems to depend on how quickly the tuner processes the signal. Of the three tuners I have, the HDTV Wonder is the slowest. The Samsung STB is the fastest, and the Linux pcHDTV is in between. None of them are in sync with the others.

I agree, you may need all identical tuners for them to be in sync.

Thats kinda what i figured. I want to view the stuff in hd, so that limits the options there. I think the LG receiver has an S Video output. Now i just need a looooong cable and a way to convert the S video so it works with my non S video tv..
Do u think this would work?

Yes it would, as long as the LG's S-video output produces a down converted versionof the HD picture.  I would put this device right by the receiver using a short video cable & run coax from there to the TV.  Too bad the LG (apparently) does not have an RF output...
