I know my lip sync is zero and my distances match what I measure.

If you have both the TV speakers playing (fed straight from the cable box) and the 970 playing (fed from the cable box's optical output), I would assume you also have speaker distances set in the 970. If you do, those distances are a form of delay. The TV isn't applying any such delay.
