I absolutely love the Sky and Sky Cinema Channels.

Like most when I first got IPTV, I had come from cable services with between 50-200 channels, so when I first found a stable, reliable IPTV provider, I made sure to use all 8,000 channels they gave me.

Then I stopped being dumb and realized that not only do I not watch 99% of them most of the time, but I will NEVER watch most of them ever. ESPN-8 “The Ocho”? Who’s going to really want to watch a shuffleboard match or Roomba Robot Fights?

So I deleted everything that I didn’t watch and wound up with around 300 channels... but scrolling through that was still too large, so I grouped them into UK, US, and CA channel groups that I can launch independently with a custom build of Kodi.

Now I’m absolutely LOVING my TV service, but most of the time I watch the UK channels. Seriously, Sky Cinema is FAR BETTER for movies than ANY American service. As far as “premium shows” from HBO/Showtime/Starz/Cinemax? They all show up on Sky Atlantic, so that’s fine as well.

The problem? For whatever reason, these region crossing services still haven’t adjusted for the 50/60 variance so the audio is slightly pitched high. Most voices don’t have a large difference, but high male voices and select female voices just sound... very slightly squeaky... you wouldn’t notice a difference if you didn’t know their voice well, but when it’s someone with a very recognizable voice (for example, last night it was Amanda Crew who sounded like a chipmunk) it’s hard to avoid.

TLDR: When I record the movies and convert them to HEVC265, I run the signal chain through a pitch shifter set to correct the difference in frequency, but is there anything that can be done in Real-Time while I’m actually watching it live on my TV and not saving it?
