LCD lip Sync error/delay

Hi

I am new to hdtv having recently purchased an HD Ready lcd tv over christmas and had the TV Drive box installed last week.
One thing that I have noticed is that there is a definite lip sync delay (hear audio slightly before image on screen), which is more pronounced on certain channels. Thinking it may have been a fault with the TV I did some internet research on this issue and now understand that this is certainly a widespread problem and can be caused in part by the broadcaster and/or carrier but is a 'feature' of LCD TVs due to the increased processing it takes to create the image relative to sound. And is more likely to get worse with HD due to the increase in image processing. I also know that some people are more susceptable to noticing than others.
Has anybody else had this problem and how have they dealt with it? I've read that the Sky HD box has a function whereby you can delay the audio to sync with the image. Is this something that the TV Drive can incorporate in future? Any advice appreciated.

All in all though I am most impressed with the TV Drive so far, unless it manages to mess up the series record of BSG that is set .
