Delayed live sports on new Telus android box

The older Optik boxes would have a bit of a delay still. Shaw isn't immune to the delay either. It's an issue with how IPTV works when a set top box begins streaming the channel. The delay can be reduced up to a point but it'll never be zero, especially compared to being at a live game. The video stream at the venue has to be recorded, have graphics added, have the video stream compressed, and then sent out for broadcast / streaming. When a set top box connects to a channel/stream, there typically can be a delay before the stream starts. Sometimes it's quite short and on occasion can be longer.

One of the local sports bars where I live has multiple Shaw boxes and TVs. None of them were in sync when viewing the same channel / game. One was off by 10-15 seconds. The rest were +/- 5 seconds off of each other.
