It's astonishing the World Cup is round the corner and the Sky Stream delay isn't resolved. Hope all the Sky Stream customers are ready to hear their neighbours cheering a minute or two before you see England score a goal...
@fgdfgdfg There will always be a longer delay streaming over the internet that traditional broadcasting methods. However its possible for broadcasters to have lower latency streams which significantly reduces that delay down to several seconds, but its down to broadcaster to invest in the technologically ( and it does come at a higher cost). Sky, for example, does offer a low-latency version of Sky Sports Main Event, so all sporting events broadcast on that channel can be watched with a significantly smaller delay ( if you are watching on the low-latency version of the channel, of course).
When it comes to the world cup and streaming, unless BBC and ITV decide to utilise the technology for their broadcasts, then yes there will a longer delay for those games when watching via streaming.
