1242153 2011-11-06 01:00:00 I thought I said the same thing in less words i the second paragrah of my reply earlier?Nope - you wondered if the issue might be caused by a doppler shift (it's not - a doppler shift results in a frequency change, not a delay), and then mentioned that the digital signal was bounced off a satellite (and again, it's not - the OP is watching the HD broadcast, which means he's using the terrestrial, non-HD feed).


Maybe the red herring of Doppler shift through you off....lolNah, the red herring was just plain wrong :p.


Sort of OT, can anyone tell me why the delay happens when TV crosses to a on location link. That's where the anchor says "we cross now to Paul Henry-Holmes live from beautiful downtown Urenui". Henry-Holmes then has 5 - 10 seconds before duplex communication is available, while trying to look like a masterful interviewer in control of the situation instead of playing charades with the appropriately apt name of the town. Live TV feeds often tend to use a satellite link, unless there's a very reliable net connection with decent bandwidth available (not normally the case). The combination of the satellite lag, the delay in the feed going the other way, and buffering (and a few other minor things that don't add much) all add up to that short delay before you see the live guy start talking.

1242155 2011-11-06 01:27:00 so whats a few seconds between TVs :)

Then gain when SKY TV claims to be showing something live and it is actually 5 minutes late well technically they can always be late showing and not live even when the broadcast is a few seconds later....huh.

but on a plus side if your watching the TV with the earlier signal then you can be able to predict what will happen next on the other TV before it actually appears :)

Cool eh!
