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.

Not disagreeing with you here, however, I do like to follow certain people on Twitter especially for LSU events because of the knowledge and statistics they bring.
I didn't even think about text messages ---- as this could also cause a "dilemma" as well.

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.

It's about 20-25 seconds with YouTube TV. Hulu with Live TV is close to 30 seconds.
FuboTV I found was the best at about 10-15 seconds. Dunno what they're doing but that's a good service that gets 0 love.

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.

Fair point. I guess I meant that it's clearly niche and targets more of the Soccer world. IF you don't care about sports, it's a good service. Then again, if you don't care about sports, you also don't care about a delay.
Don't need to worry about a cooking show being 30 seconds or 2 mins behind.

Duplicate. Weird.
Ignore this.

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.

Honestly, it was even worse when I had cable/DVR. Especially on a CBS football game. I'd start watching around 3:15 instead of 2:30. Just sit my phone down somewhere until I caught up to live action, which was usually close to halftime. My dad finally caught on, and every now and then I would get a text from him asking if I was live or Memorex, from the old commercials back in the day. He still has cable and DVR and does what I used to do with starting a game later to avoid all the commercial breaks.
Now that I'm watching stuff over the air or on a stream, 30-45 seconds doesn't seem as bad. Yeah I can't pause it to go to the kitchen or bathroom, but it sure beats the $160 cable bill each month when all I really used it for was live sports.
