Sky Sports on BT TV (via the EPG) - is there a delay?

[alexjhurst]

Hi all,  currently I watch BT Sport via the app on my smart TV and also subscribe to nowtv for Sky Sports.  When watching the football via the apps, I am always about 30 seconds behind what is being shown on live tv (I understand there is always a delay when streaming).

My question is that if you subscribe to Sky Sports / nowtv with BT and watch via the BTTV Pro box and EPG (instead of the app), is there still this delay?

When watching through the EPG the delay is similar to that of Satellite or Freeview so only a couple seconds and not the long delay you get when streaming.
