For example if you are watching a live stream on youtube and have the chat up its possible to notice people commenting on things you may not have seen yet due to your lag causing you to be several seconds behind.

As I said that's the nature of streaming - I've seen people a minute or two behind a live stream before.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Mike176 the main issue with the delay between Stream and Sky Q for most people is with live sport. Sky are currently testing reducing the delay by 20 seconds on their live Sports channels. There are two test feeds of the Sky Sports Main Event channel which will in due course replace the channel on 401 but in the meantime you can watch them on 921 and 922 for the UHD and HD versions. In due course all of the Sky Sports channels will switch to this low latency version.

Currently you can't with Streaming TV ... research in reducing delay is ongoing ... Streaming TV isn't live😉
Use DTT tv if you require minimal delay ... DSat tv is next best🤔

No digital service is 'on the correct time'.
The closest to real life is 'live' FM radio (a 90 year old technology) : everything else involves processing, typically in multiple places, and so lags behind reality. That's just an inescapable feature of modern life.
See this article on the implications of streaming for sport consumption (but ignore the over-optimistic timescale ; )
