Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Silverstone NO spoilers

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

It's nothing sinister or contrived, just latency due to repeated single processing to and from satellites from point of origin to your TV and the various format changes along the way.  Even the image format generation at your box can add delay.  I have the the latest Hoppers from Dish and can not get the one in the garage and the one in the house to show the same show simultaneously.  There is always a few seconds of drift.  

There are at least 6 satellite hops from point of origin to you.  I've been told by a buddy at Hughes Aerospace it can be upwards of 22 and that the same signal may hit the same sat multiple times depending on the services along the way who get a piece of the action.  Yes the signal is SoL once transmitted but all that processing takes time.  

A few years back, I watched Monaco practice out my hotel window and had the sling feed from home running on my iPad.  I was timing 13 seconds of delay.

When I had Dish b4 I had the F1 app, Speed on Dish was the time for Dish commercials behind cable ( have a friend that has cable and was watching Speed called me asking how I liked the race results -  the race was not over on Dish - a Dish commercial was showing when he called and after the commercial was over Dish showed the end of the race.

I thought Direct might be doing a similar thing. If there is any cable and F1 app viewers I thought I would check out my theory. I understand what your point is.

Thanks

Maybe the delay is in case there is something brutal or a, uh, language problem in the pits.

Just wondering

Interesting race.

 

Has anybody noticed the time difference in the F1 app and the TV broadcast?

 

My Direct TV is 15 seconds slower than the F1 app.

 

I started to write this at 8:30 am cdt just after the race ended, then got a wild hare to see the new Terminator movie.

 

Finishing it after we got back, my wife got confused by the many time lines in the movie.
