How live is 'TT Live'
I found I had a bit of time on my hands today to get settled for the S/Stock and S/S port races ,,,,even better was just before the start of the 2nd race of the day my old man turned up so I thought I would amaze him with technology.........
TT live was chimmed up and away we go,,,,,,following the first lap was the best bit trying to work out the 'time lag' between the sector times being posted on the 'Dashboard' and manx radio catching up with the action ? It must be me pressing the wrong buttons when explaining it to my Dad I thought.
After a couple of laps I was starting to get confused as the riders were indicated as being past a timing point yet the delay on the 'net' was minutes later rather than seconds as you would expect,,,,,even on the hand over between commentary points we were treated to a good couple of minutes of radio adds before they told us what we all ready knew.
For Wednesday I think I will dig out my old stop watch and I will time the thing as if I was 'Track side' coz I think someone is trying to pull a fast one on us daft buggers sat at home......
This unless someone can explain the differences we appear to have ?. Or is it due to Steam radio loosing pressure after a couple of laps,,,,,

Every one of the radio comentators today mentioned that the wonderful new timing system on the screens in front of them was great

RE: How Live Is "TT" LIVE"
Shovel i have noticed this as well and it was exactly the same in practicing.
The only thing i can think of, is there must be a time lag with the commentary. How or why i really dont know but the only thing i can think of is a deliberate time lag built in. In case some commentator gets over excited and makes a comment like..... "a certain rider is going like shitoffashovel " ....for example.

RE: How live is 'TT Live'
Southernman has the answer.
I don't know how it works, but sometimes I have the radio on, and also the website feed. There is a long delay between the two, with the radio about half a minute ahead.. I often catch the tail end of something on the radio, and have time to go online to get the whole story. I presume the dashboard is coming from elsewhere (don't have Radio TT on the puter, so I don't know the setup.)
