BT Sport on a Firestick

Hi
I get BT Sport via the BT Sport App allowing me to watch football matches on my computer and Samsung TV. The app works fine on my pc but when watching a match on TV the picture on screen and the sound is way out of sync making watching a match is a nightmare. I uninstalled and reinstalled the BT Sport app but the problem remains.

I am not sure how a Firestick works but is it an option to but a Fire TV Stick 4D and download the BT Sports app onto the Firestick and watch a match on TV (hopefully with picture and sound in sync)?

Thanks

    Yes, you can do this but before you do are there any settings on your TV that will allow you to adjust the the sound synchronisation?
  • Works fine here, no problems w/sound sync.

    Works fine here on my Firestick but have never bothered about sound synchronisation as I only use it to watch an occasional football match.
