FindernRam Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 How come last night I get texts from a mate in Italy nearly a minute ahead of seeing it on sky here. He was watching Sky italia! I know they are an hour ahead but that's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a minute behind Radio Derby as well, I was once stupid enough to try listening to the radio at the same time as watch Sky and it kept on providing spoilers .

angieram Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Is it to do with the delay so they can edit out the swearing chants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't though. they just say sorry for "industrial" language. But ( just a thought) maybe its in case of something nasty happening that is deemed too upsetting for us to see so they can cut the feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I watch sky games on NowTV on my computer, and its a good 30 seconds behind Sky on TV, which at least where I alive is about 10 seconds or so behind the radio. Folks were celebrating every goal on here before we'd even started attacking for me ? The more steps it has to go through to get to you, the more delayed it will be. Distance doesn't really factor in unless they're in space. Just a second here or there. If you were just watching it on Sky TV, then I'm not sure as I'm no communications engineer. Perhaps they have a transmission delay when the signal isn't great to improve the end result, as a measure to avoid choppiness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I get score notifications via the Flashscores App about 45 seconds before Sky via my NOWTV box. Bloody annoying when I forget to turn notifications off when watching the game on TV - as happened last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 It used to be just a couple of seconds delay, but it's blooming ridiculous now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePrisoner Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 It’s delayed when streaming just as a matter of technical limitations. They’re encoding the satellite feed and re-uploading it bit by bit and then you’re effectively downloading each segment as you stream it. I didn’t notice any delays on Sky (through satellite).

ramsbottom Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Sky has been behind the radio for years. Funnily enough in the first leg of the Brighton play off semi, I watched at the pub, and some nob-head had a radio stuck to his ear for the whole first half, gave the game away on every goal. A couple of burly lads had a word with him at half time and the radio went away. What a c-nut!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Git Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I was working away in Italy when we knocked Southampton out of the cup on pennos in January. I got a live video stream and it was miles faster than anything I've ever managed over here. I also had a text stream from an Italian footie site and that was even faster - at least 5 to 10 minutes faster than the BBC texts effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
