Approximate YouTube TV delay vs. in-person sporting event?
Posted on 5/19/20 at 5:06 pm

Coming from Dish Network, I recognize that I am delayed by about 6 to 7 seconds vs. watching an event live.
How would this compare to YouTube TV? Is YT faster than satellite transmission? About the same? Or significantly delayed?
I ask, because watching an LSU game, I often follow Twitter live feeds as well and have noticed that Twitter can be faster than Dish Network and I don't like knowing what happens before I see the play (I know, don't follow Twitter --- and real problems).

Stay off twitter, TD, Facebook, etc while watching live sports. I also don't check text messages. Especially from my dad.

I would expect any streaming service to have an even longer delay due to the processing it takes to stream the game.

I streamed part of the super bowl on the Fox app and it was a good 20-30 second delay. Not sure about YouTube tv, but I’d imagine all have significant delays

About 25 seconds

I just loaded up wbrz straight from my hdhomerun to my phone, which I'm assuming has a minimal delay from the antenna, and watched it side by side vs YTTV on my laptop. 35 second delay.
Edit: So that's broadcast vs stream. I would expect another 5-10 seconds on top for live in person vs. broadcast.

Roughly 30 seconds from what I can tell. I just check twitter and the group chat right when it goes to commercial

I can't speak to YTTV specifically, but in my experience watching Pelicans games, streaming is usually 15-30 seconds behind traditional broadcasts.

I have yttv And the delay on live sports is minimal. I also check twitter during the football games and noticed that I was pretty much caught up with live feed.

For me, it is around ~30 seconds compared to the Over-The-Air feeds for the locals.
Hulu TV was about ~50 seconds when I had them.

It really depends on the channel and time I have found.
10-15 seconds is a decent assumption.
Sometimes the ESPN network channels can run 30-45 seconds behind.

The good news is that more and more people are streaming, so you're battling fewer friends/twitter types/etc. who are ahead of you.

Yea I made the mistake of picking my phone up showing Tex A&M 74-72 Final. And on the TV they weren't even set on lol

Can you elaborate on this process a little. I ask because I hear people complain about this every now and then and I might be interested in trying my hand at creating a solution to this for the masses if possible using Twitter's API (waiting on API approval) as I am looking for a new project. I don't really use Twitter, but is what you are doing just monitoring a hashtag/specific users post in you feed or their live video? What's this look like for the user? Are you watching the game phone in hand and your feed auto updates new tweets? Are you watching someones video on Twitter commenting on the game? How would someone who uses Twitter while watching a live event like this to work? The way I'm picturing it is you set your tweet preferences (users and/or hashtags), your desired delay and a "live" (delayed) feed populates tweets.

I've tried several streaming services over the years and there's always a delay with each of them. Usually less than 10 secs or so.
I also notice variation between delays if I'm watching a game on the ESPN app vs YouTubeTv app.

I have YouTube TV and am always the last of my friends to know what happens.
I'm on a large WhatsApp group with buddies and I have to not watch it during big plays.
Having said that YTTV is great
