Maybe they thought another "Lincoln" would happen. *shrugs shoulders* 

Another "Lincoln"?


With two TVs in the house, one analog and one digital (hooked up to a
digital terminal), there's a couple second delay on the digital TV then
on the regular cable. If I'm watching 'Wife Swap' in one room and my
dad's watching it in another, he has to mute the volume even if the
visuals and the audio don't match up the entire time (like 2-3 seconds
or more).


Wait. The visuals and audio on your dad's TV don't match up? Or am I
reading your statement wrong?



Locally there is a few slight delay between cable and OTA and a bigger
one between OTA and DirecTV.


The TV in the kitchen (where he watches) is hooked up to analog cable. I watch digital cable TV in the living room just 7 feet away. If we watch the same program at the same time with both TVs at normal volume, the TV in the kitchen will be like this: "...And there have been even BIGGER changes in Smith household..." then 3-4 seconds later I'll hear the same thing on my TV. To avoid that, my dad mutes the kitchen volume and simply watches the show out of sync with the volume I got (a delay for him).
