watching and listening to live footy

[Sir Bronking]

i think i may have solved (in my case) watching foreign footy channels, and listening to english com (when possible)

ive been messing about with dvb-t (the card was in when i got computor) and in doing so tried a little experiment:
put radio 1 on "normal radio", and also picked it up through dvb-t using progdvb(would rather use another program but progdvb is the only one so far that works with my dvb-t card)
i think, because the program has to process the info i get a slight delay in sound
next tried watching dvb-s through different progdvb with sound down (only interested in picture quality (taq1 blade trinity) and dvb-t with sound up and hey presto both work fine.

next test, if i can watch city play weekend with dvb-s and get commentary with dvb-t the sync might not be to far away (fingers crossed)

btw, living in algeria cheshire is my signal coming from winter hill, as i don't think ive got every channel possible, (probably have to enlarge ini file i made with more transponders when i find them)

I just listen to Century radio when Man United are playing

[Sir Bronking]

what? so when your watching utd on say tps foot and litening to century the 2 are in sync so u don't get to hear about the goal before you see it

btw the way if i was a formula 1 driver i don't think ide sign for a team called team oily (dosen't actually fill you with confidence )

[Oily]

It's out slightly,but it doesn't bother me at all

As for my F1 team name,i'd think the same if i were the driver

[Sir Bronking]

It's out slightly,but it doesn't bother me at all

it does me, hence my experiment

[hirdie]

hi there have you seen this device dont know if i can post link but do a search for delayplayradio looks good http://www.delayplayradio.co.uk/

[rolfw]

Have added it for you, but does seem a lot to pay for the delay.

[Sir Bronking]

yes have seen it but for what it is seems pricey.
plus the fact i like to experiment/problem solve

[hirdie]

yes it is a bit expensive ,i was watching darts at xmas time on dsf and comentry on a 422 feed in english sound totaly out of sync i was waiting for phil the power to get a dart in the back of his head

[Sir Bronking]

i was watching darts at xmas time on dsf

Bronking

hirdie, did you know premiere darts is shown on dsf

Should have gone to specsavers lol

[Sir Bronking]

different darts competition

look at the dates

youve now got hyjacking my own thread

[RedDevil_UK]

Doh!!! i thought darts was darts

swiftly moving on.....
i have a 5.1 sound system plugged in my DVD player... if i was to plug that into my Sky+ box and choose a Radio station, then put TPS on... i wonder how far the audio would be out???

Has anyone tried that?

[hirdie]

no i didnt know it was on dsf i watched last matches at aberdeen on a feed but it went of just before phil taylors match

[Sir Bronking]

red u might have something there (i can do a similar thing)
if i used video sender from upstairs to tele downstairs and turn tele sound down, with Sky digi box into dvd player 5.1suround sound and find it on say 5live i think it would work
u have try and i will next city forgein channel.
i also have on of them spare fta digi doxes i might dust that down and use it upstairs via comp if poss

[RedDevil_UK]

the other thing with it being Sky+ if the audio is a little in front, i could rewind a notch or pause then quickly unpause.

sounds like a plan ill try it next game

[RedDevil_UK]

OK, this mainly seems to be a challenge for me and Bronking

tried the trick above..
today, watching United vs W. Brom on TPS Foot
obviously french commentry... complete gibberish to the likes of me lol

anyway, i connected the 5.1 speaker system to the Sky+ box, and chose Radio 5 Live channel 0105
great got to hear the English commentry while watching the pic from TPS..... wait but..... awww its out still

Saha scored and i knew before he kicked the bugger!!!!

The radio seems to be a good second in front Ummm back to the drawing board

PS
i tried the pause and unpause with Sky+ to create a delay.... but it seems you cant use that feature on radio stations

the only way i see this being done, is if you dont mind being about 10 minutes behind real time

start a manual recording using Sky+ and record the channel that has the commentry
and also record the TPS channels with Video/PVR/Dreambox etc

then start to watch and spend the first 5 minutes messing with the sync.

NO way is that ideal, but its the best i could do today.

I know some people can live with it, but I found the delay too frustrating.... you know.... the radio commentary tells you there's just been a goal but the Roonmeister has only just crossed the half-way line!

I've solved this easily by investing in a DAB digital radio with a pause/rewind function. I just pause live radio for a second or two, and hey presto, in sync!

Now, if only I could do the same with Chelski!!!
