I have noticed there is a "Live sync" option on Sky Sports Main Event which is great, however if England are playing (football) then it is on ITV/BBC and there is always a delay. Is there any way to get "Live Sync" on other channels apart from just Sky Sports Main Event? Really frustrating when your paying the luxury price to have sky.

Technically there will always be some lag when watching via streaming. That's life

Typically that would require the other broadcasters like BBC and ItV to invest in the technology to improve the latency on the streams they are providing Sky.
As we can see with Sky Sports Main Event Sky have been slowly rolling and testing this technology out with the aim to roll out to all their sports channels at some point in the not too distant future.

Any live sporting event that broadcast by any method will have a delay. The only way to experience no delays is to be at the event in person.
Broadcast delays are typically less than 30 seconds on Stream but with the system Sky are trailing, this should drop to around 10 seconds bringing it close to satellite or Multicast IP delivery.
