Why your TV might be delayed watching NCAAB? answer is

TV delay is not normal unless you are running digital streaming or satellite that receives their V1 signal off band. 

If you are watching the game on CBS on traditional cable it will be 100% live unless the network purposely does a delay which it would not for NCAAB.

Also. Large book makers hire people to be on site to literally push a button to open/close  in play betting

@MrIowa

 Never 100% live just go to ur offshore live betting and u will see it’s delayed maybe 6 or 10 seconds but not total in game live on TV 

@Freddy66

 uh no its not.

When you are in a luxury suite in sporting venues the game is usually shown off a satellite signal provided by one of the companies that sponsor the event. That would be delayed as it has to be.

But if you watch the game on a television signal provided by the cable company in house they are always 100% LIVE. 

If you watch the game traditionally like in Canada on CBC the game is 100% live. If you watch a sporting event on CBS by cable its 100% live. But most people do not get the signal that way. Its through a provider that is generated stream off-band from a satellite. Thats how they do things now

@PatsRoll5

 not if you are watching the game LIVE on tv. I am watching the KU game on CBS through CBS not through a cable sub provider or satellite. Its like UHF signal. Its 100% live not 1 second delay

I watch in Canada on cable, and constantly see the CBS Sports app score ahead of TV.  CBC doesn’t show basketball.

@MrIowa

 I watch on cable because it is the closest to live without being there....but check out the live betting on most websites.  It's absolutely delayed by a little bit.

All TV is delayed at least 7 seconds minimum. Mostly due to an unforeseeable event such as a murder or tragedy. 

For instance,  some psychopath decides to shoot up people at a live event. The network will cut the plug so it's not witnessed. 

Also, there will be no upsets in this tournament 

@undermysac

 lol uh no. Thats when networks purposely do it.

All sporting events are 100% live but it depends on how you receive the signal. I watch mine 100% live as I do not deal with a network provider

Radio 3 seconds delay

Tv 15 seconds 

It has been like this since the 1950s

Why is this an issue now?

Tin foil hat people are a special kind of dumb

35 seconds to 55 seconds.  Yesterday during UNC game it was way behind. 

I have been on ESPN Gamecast of an NFL game and had that same game on TV in next room. Periodically, I would see the FG was good before it was even kicked on TV... WORD
