"After discussing this further with our video engineers, we believe the issue you're experiencing is due to the way live sporting events are broadcast and the encoding that occurs on the Cox side before the feed is transmitted to customers.

I am an admin for a sports commentators YouTube page and during the dallas cowboys games he's been 30-45 seconds ahead of me all season long, nothing worse then finding out what's happened in the game from YouTuber then my own hardwired line. It's bs and needs to be fixed immediately before cable loses another customer.
