[Albion] Radio Sussex

[nicko31]

amazingly there are some services that are close to live. Amazon being one of them sometimes. And per a friend in Holland viaplay also seems to be live live as he was commenting on the Charlton game when I was at the match in real time and last night was a good 25 seconds ahead of my peacock feed.

Should be fairly easy to transmit speech only in real time. Granted BBC are pretty hopeless.

I can see the reason for a delay with video, buffering allows for safety margin especially if streaming over cellular. But for audio its ridiculous

The most live of all is AM radio, then FM, the DAB, then streaming stuff

if they’re so hopeless - then you won’t be wanting their commentary then I imagine !

Their streaming mechanism is hopeless I like the radio Sussex commentary tho.

The BBC don’t stream the Albion commentary - Albion do it via their app/ player.

Geeky question here.

Can you get radio Sussex outside of Sussex (in London) live?

I want to get Brighton commentary live without delay.

Thanks in advance

It's difficult enough to connect with BBC Radio Sussex INSIDE Sussex sometimes! I can't comment on the far eastern boundaries of the county, (that's all Indian territory to me), but certainly towards the Hampshire border the reception is very patchy indeed.

I listen to Sussex on the Radioplayer app, on my phone not sure if it’s delayed or live but the scouser behind the commentary box last night was a treat!
I would have lost my bet of the night though as I thought Warren was a certainty to bring up Maupay not going over to the fans last season… he’s not usually one to forgive and forget

I listened on a DAB radio last night those Scousers were extremely angry to say the least !

The commentary is live - the method of delivery though means there is a lag . On analogue radio (FM) - hardly any

Radio waves travel at the speed of light, so you'd have to be a long way from the transmitter to notice a delay!

This reminds me of how I used to enjoy listening to Radio 4 at 6pm as I walked across St James's Park, you'd hear the live transmission of Big Ben on the radio before the sound waves from the real thing reached you.

Phone someone in Brighton and listen to their radio over the phone

That’s apparently similar to what Elton John used to do for Watford games when he was touring!

Radio Sussex doesn't/can't put the commentary on Sounds for rights reasons. Even if they did, it wouldn't be 'live' in the sense that the OP means - there's quite a heavy delay.

Was working fine when I listened to it last night from my home in London

The Albion player thingie wasn't working for me for some reason so I was googling like mad for options and somehow found radio Sussex broadcasting the commentary. Don't think you can find it direct through the Sounds UI but that link I provided worked for me.

As for the streaming delay not syncing with the video feed - maybe it would be easier to try and add a little delay to the stream instead? I know Twitch and YouTube have this kind of option so maybe Dodgy Dutch does too?

I can just get Radio Sussex up here in Ruislip, only if the atmospherics are good, otherwise (as mentioned on Everton thread), it sounds like wind blowing through Wozzas teeth.

 

[AmexRuislip]

It’s piped through the Albion App which you can listen to anywhere

It yeh, like it didn't work yesterday at all

 

[AmexRuislip]

Should be on Freeview TV in London

No it's regional.....

On the subject of delays, three of us had the Albion game v Everton in our homes. One listening on FM and two watching via TV. FM called me to say 'what a goal', it was still 0:0 on TV.
In the 2nd half text conversation between me and other TV viewer 'how many you up to', '3' came the reply. I was on 4.

I listen to the game on BBC Sounds app. It used to be unavailable but seems to work this season. Delay is about 45 seconds.

Unfortunately that is physics. TV likely involved internet / satellites with a delay of up to 2 minutes. FM will be practically real time

. . . and end up with a ginormous phone bill!

It's ok, you can try charging it to Elton l guess.

I live 90 miles away in Dorset and it is on my TV freeview, plus BBC radio Solent ,Berkshire and Wiltshire too, so listen via the TV.

 

[Lawros Lip]

I usually forget to turn text alerts off so, due to delay, get a premonition that one of the two teams have scored.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

No, it does not allow you to listen via BBC Sounds to live commentary. I listened to 5 Live extra last night. It was the Radio Merseyside comms but via DAB, so no delay to speak of.

I drove from Liverpool to the West Midlands this morning so took the chance to listen to the 5Live Sports Extra commentary via the Sounds App - loved it of course. Commentator kept referring to Sarmerento in the first half and EVEN Ferguson for most of the game! Warren should have helped them really - I’m looking forward to how he copes with our new Argentinian!

The following link shows a map of the all the transmitters that broadcast Radio Sussex on Freeview channel 720. For the OP living in London, it's unlikely that they would be able to receive the service unless they were close enough to Bluebell Hill or Chatham Town.
