Can someone answer this please?

We have a Samsung 32" smart TV in our bedroom which is directly above
the lounge when the router resides and it works by wif0 link. We have a
VM Hub4 in modem mode feeding a TP-L Archer D2 router as the controlling
unit.

We have a Philips (branded) 24" TV in the kitchen extension at the other
end of the house. This TV is not smart but it does have an Ethernet
connection which means that any cable-fed channels that are between
channels 251 and 299 - for example France 24 on 255 - will work. The
network arrives by cable in the room above the main kitchen to a BT Hub4 configured as an access point. This gets to the kitchen TV by a TPL
wireless link (little more than a metre) which then provides a cable
feed to the TV.

Can anyone explain please why the bedroom Samsung TV is about 6 seconds delayed compared with the Philips TV in the kitchen?

Sounds like more buffering

Could it be processing time?

The time on my TV is a few seconds different from that on my clock and I
was told it was probably the time the TV needs to process the signal. More sophisticated TV needs longer perhaps?

Yes, sounds like it's a difference in the way the TVs buffer the data
stream. Maybe there is a setting where you can adjust the cache size, to
get them closer to each other, if that's what you want.

ISTR that in the setup of the Samsung there is a delay adjustment but I
think it only relates to HDMI connections and not streaming. The Philips
TV is only doing streaming for the stations that use channels 251-299
which are part of the Freeview numbering format.

And just to delay the audio not the video?
