Audio leads video. This varies between connections from 4 to 0 seconds. Very frustrating. The audio is out of sync 95% of the time...
Sort this out!

(3 Comments)I have requested a refund from CBS and MobiTV.
Can you comment on who CBS and MobiTv use for the video delivery as they should be very embarrassed. MobiTV if you hacked this together themselves then what a complete joke. If it was someone else then fire them for being complete idiots. Learn to do video before selling it at $5 per download.
This applications biggest selling point is live video and it does not work!
