It's not just you. It's a big problem today. I complain about it all the time, as do broadcast engineers. Not at all sure why all the new video formats separate audio from video.
Experience with this has proven to me that the problem is much worse with the digital broadcasts as opposed to the parallel analog broadcasts. In fact, when the same digital broadcast is being transmitted on more than one channel operated by the same station, one channel may be more out of sync than another, Ditto for network broadcasts that may be able to be received from more than one affiliate. One can be more out of sync than the other.
It is just a shame that enjoyment of the product has to be sacrificed as we are all being forced to switch to digital. It almost seems to be an abrogation of responsibility on the part of broadcasters. Of course, there is no law that says that audio and video have to be in sync, so I guess broadcasters really have no need to care about the problem at all.
I do not understand why either the video or audio cannot be slewed at the time of transmission in order to restore sync as the signal is transmitted at the tower.
