Delay in sports brodcasts
I was under the impression that Telus had solved the 30 to 40 second delay on sports broadcasting. Hockey games, basketball etc. So disappointed that I keep hearing the score and highlights from frie...
I had commented on a post earlier about the delay in live sports. Whatever fix was put in did nothing. Minimizing this as a slight delay is embarrassing. On a good night it’s like 40 or so seconds. Watching playoff hockey and I feel like it’s actually gotten worse. I’m getting score mobile alerts to goals at least 45 seconds ahead of seeing it on my screen. Those alerts would probably be a delay from live as is. This is unacceptable and did nothing happen when I was with Shaw and from what I’ve read did not happen with Telus’ old equipment. If I don’t see this improved soon I will be done as a customer. I can get the other half good/half crappy service anywhere else. But I keep cable for live sports. This is a fail.
Update. For the end of the period, Telus “live” tv is 1 minute and 5 seconds behind the score app. Ridiculous.
Yup! Today I was on the phone with my friend who uses Roger’s and we were watching the same Toronto Ottawa game and he had to wait 1 minute to avoid spoiling it for me. We timed the delay today and averaged 45s-1:05
