The Front Porch

[Charismatic Applesauce]

On Xfinity, I've noticed that the SD and HD feeds of some of the channels I watch are not in sync. The HD feed would be ahead of the SD feed, like on Univisión, or it would be the other way around, like on TWC. I'm curious as to why this happens.

Guess who found his missing passport 6 months after he paid the Department of State to get a new one. Congrats, guys. My fee has now become a generous contribution. Spend it wisely.

I'm pretty sure this happens on all cable/satellite providers.  For me, any HD channel always seems to lag a few seconds behind any SD channel.  I am not sure why, although there may be some discussion about it in the WUWA thread?

HD is much larger than SD, sometimes 2-4 times that size, so it takes a bit longer to transmit to your television.

Thanks, but that doesn't quite explain why the HD feed would be ahead on different channels. I guess that's a mystery.

My HD feed is about 2 seconds behind the SD feed. It's because of the larger size, just as Donovan explained. It just takes a little bit longer to get to the cable box.

You really need to keep your passport in a safe place.  That item belongs in a personal safe within your home or in a safety deposit box within a bank.  You should be getting a new one good for 10 years though, so make sure to shred the old one.

Haha well at least you didn't misplace it overseas. Mine fell out of my bag on a plane I had a few days ago and I had to get it redirected back to Scotland. Its a scary feeling knowing you have no way to return to your own country without going to a US Embassy.

Greetings from Rome folks! I am wrapping up my European vacation over the next few days in Italy before heading back to the US. I just arrived here from Athens. Weather is great

You're really lucky to have two trips to Europe already under your belt, Martin.  I've only been over the Gulf Stream in a boat and Niagara Falls, Canada in terms of my international travels, and I don't know if I will ever be able to travel abroad in my life given my work.
