Netflix Audio/Video Out of Sync

My new AppleTV arrived today (yay!) and I quickly set-up and configured it. While generally impressed I'm observing that the audio and video for Netflix streaming are not synching up properly. I've got the ATV hardwired to my network and am not connecting via wireless.

I have both the HDMI and optical cables plugged in I've tried audio over both interfaces and with the ATV setting for "Digital Out" set to on and off and all variations have the same synch issue.

I've tested the same show with the Netflix app on my iPhone (over wifi) and using the OSX Silverlight player (hardwired) which both synch the audio/video properly.

Anyone else experiencing this? Did you find a solution?

Mac Pro 1,1 (w/ 2.33 E5345 & ATI 4870), Mac OS X (10.6.4)

For some reason, when Apple TV isn't used for a number of hours, the sound becomes delayed when you start to use it again. I've found that putting the Apple TV to sleep from the settings menu and then re-powering the Apple TV fixes the sound delay. It's annoying but it has worked every time for me. A patch would be nice.

I lose audio sync on Netflix after about 90 min of watching. I unplug power and plug back on my Apple TV and it fixes for another 90 minutes. My wifi speed is fine. I wish there were a more elegant solution.

Changing the screen resolution to 720 dpi worked for me. MacBook Air / Yosemite via hdmi connection to TV.
