Question Thinking of Sonos but worried about A/V sync

So I was thinking of using Sonos as part of an AV distribution.

The setup would be:-
Sky from Living Room distributed to 4 other rooms by UHF
Sonos ZP90 or ZP120 located in each room
Sky audio out linked to Sonos in Living Room
Line-in selection then available to the other 4 rooms

Anyone know if there would be a lip-sync delay between the UHF video received and the Sonos audio received?

The whole point of using the Sonos is simply to enable multiroom music from the NAS or local source... but wanted to know if I could use this as part of Sky distribution too.

Thanks

There is a very slight delay as long as you use the uncompressed encoding option in Sonos. I certainly use Sonos in the way you describe and do not find this slight delay a problem for me.
