Re: New optik tv box slow sports streaming ?

I watch a lot of live sports. My feed is about 30 seconds behind everyone else’s. I recently got the new smaller boxes. I called Telus and they said it is to do with the boxes. That doesn’t sound good enough. There must be a way to fix it. I’m on the fastest internet and my boxes are wired.

    Our dev team released a patch a while back to address this and reduced the delay. They continue to work on this as a high priority and hope to have another release soon to reduce it further.

    30 seconds behind everyone? 

    what system do they have if not Telus and where are they if not next door neighbours? The only time I heard of transmission delays of 30s was in order to be able to bleep out an offensive word in live broadcast.
