Transmission Delay in TV Signal - Why?

A Good Answer.

I like to add:

All the data is transmitted in packets not on one route but enormous routes & recombines in the Centre. Bandwidth limits are some times too small to run a constant streem.

You may have noticed at times like "Freeze" of reception.

Just for ha ha's, when I'm watching a game on T.V. in my kitchen, which is direct cable to the tuner and my wife is watching it on the big screen in the T.V. room (digital box) I'll yell "YES" when a home run is hit and my wife will wonder what I'm yelling at. Five seconds later, she see's what I've seen. Same company, different timing.

Funny, it seems our roles have reversed. Shouldn't I be in the recliner watching the big screen?

Too funny!!!

Some programms are transmitted from different studios [of course on different channels]. there Time synch is nowhere. Some are Relaying and delay is in the relay system.

You want to put out of a job the guy at the TV station that turns up the volume for the commercials?

Here's an idea: Build a device with a microphone and infrared transmitter that detects the increase in volume and turns it down to say half volume - then restores the level when the commercial volume increase is over. This requires no modification to your TV set.

Did you mean 30-45 seconds up to 1 minute?

Varying delays are usually caused by the specific providers signal processing systems. Signal propagation delays alone should be small (<1 sec), but digital processing/buffering can be any value. There are also delays in the HOME from DVR buffering. My DVR buffers the signal about 3 seconds from the actual feed. The echo/delay is actually quite annoying when 2 sources (delay buffered and normal) can be heard at the same time.

Sorry it may please be read as seconds instead of minutes

Are you sure that sometimes the delay is 35 to minutes?

Sorry please read it as seconds instead of minutes.

this page discusses the matter at some length. however, I can't see the delay you're saying - 30 to 45 minutes?

Thanks for all the replies. However, I feel that i have not got my doubts cleared. My doubt was why should I recieve the signal after a delay when I am recieving the signal directly from the satellite through my dish antena (or) how is my neighbour getting the same signal earlier, thoough he is not recieving the signal directly from satetllite but through a cable and that too the signal is being receved by a cable TV opeartor who is recieving signal and located at a far away place from his home. Hope I am making myslef clear

Hi

Just confirm that the connections between you and your neighbour with dish and cable are not reversed outside.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I am sure that the connection from my dish antena is comong direct to my TV and hence there is no doubt abiut connections.

dear the problem you mentioned here is bcoz you are using DTH service, in DTH transmission dealy is more bcoz, first the dth company receives the signal from the c-band satellite, process it, mix it and then again uplink to the satellite again for transmission which is received by you, so in your case signal travels two time through space, but in case cable oprators ,they receives the signals from c-band directly and send directly to the users home after some processing.that's the reason of delay...
