Hi,
Will there be a minute delay when buying sky sport via Now Tv through BT?
when using Now TV there is a delay of roughly a minute till the picture comes on your stream. For example, if a goal is scored in a football game you can get a notification on your phone alerting you before the goal has been scored on your stream. Will there be this delay or will I get the pictures on my screen quicker like normal tv pictures (this is usually a delay of roughly 7 seconds).
sorry for the odd questions but the delay is very annoying if you have alerts on your phone or you enjoy betting on sport.
Solved! Go to Solution.

This question was addressed recently, see Delay in live sports
The answer from DarrenDev is :
It's only a few seconds on the BT TV box (delivered over multicast) but internet streaming has a lot more processing to make it available to all devices at all broadband speeds.
How far a player is behind depends on the player, the platform, the implementation, and the distribution.
BT Sport is distributed in at least 10 different formats that I can think of off the top of my head - they each behave differently based on what the target hardware and software is capable of.
