I thought it was just me, as I'm sure many of us have. It became noticeable sometime in the last year or so, with alerts from The Score and ESPN arriving sometimes a minute before the actual play.
Curiously, while streaming Cox Contour on my iPad, the iPad stream will run anywhere from 5 to 22 seconds in advance of the TV, which itself is running up to a minute behind the actual live action.
It's frustrating to say the least, and I'm wondering if the satellite providers have a similar deal. Combined with the huge Cox price increase recently, I'm finally on the way out myself...
