Time lags on following Saints on TV/radio/online

[SaintBobby]

I gather we're the 3pm game on Radio 5 today.

 

My usual tactic, when at my flat following an away game, is to have SaintsPlayer on one PC, a stream of the game on another, Sky Sports News on the TV and twitter open on the #saintsfc hashtag.

 

My experience has been that:

 

1. Twitter gets the key info first

2. Sky Sports News is about 5-10 seconds later

3. Saintsplayer is about 30 seconds behind that (I assume BBC Solent over the radio might be faster)

4. Online streams are about a further 10 seconds behind.

 

Anyone know where Radio 5 fits into that list?

Analogue Radio 5 would get it first if we were the live match being covered, before (in order) DAB Radio, live terrestrial tv, live satellite tv, official streaming and unofficial streaming. Obviously people at the match take some time to post things although sending is all but instantaneous, but radio doesn't have the brief "time taken for typing" lag.

Much obliged, thanks.

I was chatting to a girl on the phone from BabeStation the other day. I'm sure the things she was doing on the screen were lagging about 10 seconds behind when she said she was doing them.

It's all about how long the signal takes to broadcast (eg bounce off satellites or arrive directly via radio waves). Come to think of it, I should have split SD and HD tv signals too, as HD is always about a second behind.
