Is there yet a fix to syncing audio with video using Bluetooth? It seems to be an issue with the compression and decompression of the audio inherent to how Bluetooth works causing a time lag. It appears to have been around since the inception of Bluetooth and has not gone around way with A2dp or 4.1. I have seen the issue mentioned relative to many devices around wayne platforms, but have not come across any real fix. Anyone?

UPDATE:
I am now of the impression that the sync issue is totally synonymous with firmware or software of device transmitting the Bluetooth signal. Why? My Mocreo 4.1 Bluetooth adapter with Bose earbuds has audio lag with 1) my Dish Hopper 'throwing' audio, 2) and my Tab S, w/KitKat. However, my OnePlus One smartphone with CM11S does NOT have any audio lag on YouTube or Dish. Need to try streaming a movie. Conclusion is that it is a software issue with device or platform transmitting the Bluetooth signal. Won't hold my breath for a fix soon with Dish, but will see if Lollipop upgrade to Tab S fixes issue. Will post any changes.
 
UPDATE, ISSUE RESOLVED

I don't know why I thought I had issue with the Galaxy Tab S, as I don't. After much trial and error and Web searching I have found a resolution to Bluetooth audio sync issue with video on all platforms and devices. The answer is that both receiver and transmitter of the Bluetooth signal need aptx technology. Note both must have it. With this setup you will not have this issue. As the Dish Network Hopper does not have aptx technology one would need to connect a Bluetooth transmitter with aptx to the RCA audio outputs on the Hopper. I would suspect the new Super Joey has aptx Bluetooth, but as yet I haven't checked.
