Lipsync? One of the local affiliates has gotten terrible about this. Most nights my wife will watch both Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy & you cannot get through both shows without the sync getting way off. Until recently I had never seen it that far off, in fact. I have also noticed, recently on that same station, that every commercial "pauses" at the end. I assume this is a digital thing. (I've seen the same thing on the cheap old computer cd of tv commericials I have, at the end of the commercial it will return to the front then pause) I don't notice this on the other local station. What the other station used to have, though I don't notice it anymore, was a defect that showed up during network station breaks. When the switch was thrown the picture would always roll vertically once, real quick. I do recall a 40th anniversary documentary they had 10 years ago & the original engineers were discussing things. It was pointed out that one piece of switchgear was homemade way back when & was still in use. So I often wonder if that was the cause of the "roll".
