I'm still experiencing lip sync problems on my Shield TV. I didn't 
notice this until v30 upgrade on both the Shield and the backend. When 
I'm watching a program with lots of faces talking like the evening news 
I notice it only if I'm skipping around. Like pausing to go get a drink 
then skipping forward and backwards to get where I want to be.  It will 
be slightly out of lip sync. I can fix it simply by pausing the playback 
for a few seconds and then hitting play.  It's back in sync after I do 
that until I skip around again.
