Is there a delay on live tv on sky stream?

Just wondering what the delay time is like on sky sports when using sky stream? Also seen some negative reviews regarding lip sync? Can any confirm this

Hi @AD941 

 

There is a delay of 20 sceconds or so compared to traditional broadcasts. This is due to the nature of delivery by the internet. Sky however implemented a low latency mode that reduces this further.

 

Re the lip sync it's a known issue. Changing channel and back again resolves, but I've not noticed it much at all recently.

@AD941   Also Sky Sports Main Event channel 401 gives you the option to 'Live Sync' which brings the delay very close to being live.  This is not available as yet on other channels.
