It’s so slightly different than I never even noticed it at first, but every British channel I’ve ever gotten is just a bit higher pitched than what it should be.

I recorded a short section and ran it through logic against the original video that it SHOULD sound like, and sure enough, it’s clearly higher pitched when comparing it side by side or with the original coming out of one speaker and the streamed/recorded one out of the other.

Didn’t care at first as it’s so slight, but now that I’ve been through three different IPTV providers (Vader’s, Helix, Ok2) and they all have this issue, I’m starting to think SOMETHING is off, but I can’t figure out what...

I haven’t checked the length yet to see if it’s playing faster than the original which could cause the pitch to shift slightly, but as the pitch seems to be the same amount “off” whether it’s a short twenty minute show or long three hour movie, so I don’t think that’s the case. So I think it’s a standard amount.

You don’t notice it for some actor’s voices, but others (especially ones with a higher timbre) just sound mildly squeaky. For example, watching The Fast and the Furious, Vin Diesel’s voice is higher on the UK recording I have, but for all intents and purposes sounds the same, while Paul Walker’s voice sounds like he’s just starting puberty.

I’m stumped. Thought I was just going crazy til I recorded and compared it.
