Delay on iptv.

Delay on iptv.

Postby Scipio » Wed Jan 17, 2018 4:26 am

My wife annoyingly has goal alerts on her phone which tells me someone has scored well before I see it on iptv.
Why is there. Such a long delay?

Hi Scipio, This is not unique to iPTV, and not limited to football there is what is commonly called the 7 second rule although the actual delay is at the discretion of the programme editor or engineer. Originally introduced apparently to provide adequate time to avoid accidental broadcasting profanity or nudity for example although it doesn’t always work. Just Google it to get a full explanation and examples of when it hasn’t worked. I was once told that UK football match broadcast delays were as a result of the Bradford disaster but that is probably incorrect, I haven’t seen anything to confirm that is true. Maybe you could ask your wife (nicely) to put her phone on silent when the football is on or maybe she is on the wind up knowing that you will bite when she tells you who has scored. Live Score and Forza Apps which I use both report goals way in advance of “live TV”. I just switch off notifications on the Apps when my team is on the box as it is a real pain.
