I reckon [MENTION=36]Titanic[/MENTION] is watching via Sky directly.

I am watching on Sky Sports but through Virgin Media, and it seems to be a good 10-15 seconds behind Sky. I've noticed before when on the phone to my brother, and we both watching the same football match, him on Sky, me on Virgin, and he said somebody had scored well before I saw it.

I watch on Sky GO... but listen to TMS on the BBC website... so the commentary is about one delivery ahead of the TV... but still slightly behind the action

I have Sky Go which is more like 90 secs behind, and I've had to explain this to my kids, 'its live but what we're seeing has already happened'. I realised how well I had explained this when sat at the Amex watching the game, my 5 year old son asked, 'is this live Dad?'...

 

[Titanic]

For me, TMS commentary online is 22 seconds ahead of Sky GO.

No idea how either of these relate to 'LIVE'

I do this - works well when I am trying to work - means I can look up if anything interesting happens........

There is a way round this. If you feed your DAB radio signal into your computer, or use a stream, you can open VCL app, and it has a function to synchronise or delay the input feed. You can with a bit of playing around have the TMS commentary in time with the Sky pictures.
