BBC solves streaming delay, no more streams behind live TV!

It's easy to solve. You just delay the non stream transmission. Problem solved.

I'd be amazed if it wasn't behind live TV at all.

With an aerial in the UK if you want to see the action first your choice is:

  1. SD channel
  2. HD channel
  3. 4k channel through iPlayer

There's about 2 seconds between 1/2, but I measured another 40+ seconds between 2/3 when watching the World Cup.

There's a lot of technical reasons why - distance between keyframes, buffer sizes, HLS etc, but i'd be amazed if it got anywhere near the speed of the SD channel.

Test it against the radio broadcast

All lies. They're just delaying the broadcast feed by a couple of seconds instead.
