“Live” TV” Question

[pfister1]

Ok watching the SU v SmU game and I also have it up on the ESPN app on my phone.

How does the play result register in the ESPN App on my phone just slightly before I see it on TV??

Are your watching the game, or streaming the game?

Streams are always 30-40 seconds behind live action.

UTubeTV so I guess I’m streaming. And I always thought I had that high speed Internet.

I'm watching on ESPNU through Spectrum Cable in the mancave.

Dad is watching in the kitchen through the ESPN app on a smart TV.

I'm ahead of him.

And TK99 radio is ahead of all of us.

Television and radio has a delay of some sort. Typically a few seconds correct?
I’m sure it’s just different between television and streaming?

Yes I have listened to a game before that I was also watching on YTTV and was surprised how long the YTTV delay was

So...during a tie game, Red could listen to TK99 radio on the last play, devise a play to counter the opponent's play but in the multiverse time of Spectrum Cable, we would have an advantage.

Streaming services buffer the video to avoid glitches due to internet dropouts. Different services have different buffering amount. I believe YTTV recently added a setting to allow you to adjust it.

You’re talking Red. There would be no advantage

There’s around a 30 second delay from live to your stream….basically, YouTube builds in a delay to make sure there’s no buffering. There’s a setting where you can reduce the delay, but in my experience, the difference is only about six seconds. You will still get alerts ahead of your broadcast.

I watched on ESPN app on smart TV and had tk99 on in kitchen and tk99 was 15 secs behind. Which was unusual.

On YouTubeTV you can reduce the delay by doing this: while watching a program hit the down button, go over to the very left and click on the 3 dots, go to and click on "Broadcast Delay" and change the setting to "Decreased". I did it when it first became available but I haven't used it since. With it you may get some buffering which the delay is intended to avoid.
