This thread is just plain funny. If you look at the NASA channel on your cable, you can see the delay in action as the astronaughts respond to questions. A lot (most??) of our telephone communications are going from one phone to the other via packets, compressed bits of talk reassembled by computer on the other end, and the packets are frequently sent via satelite (built in delay), so the question of time warp with two people watching the same show and hearing hearing a delay is this. Does the person on the other end also hear a delay with your television also being transmitted behind?
In our area (Baltimore) when we watch the NFL on televison, we cannot turn the sound down and listen to it on the radio, because the radio is ahead of all of the TV sources (antenna, cable, satelite) and it is so d****d annoying to hear the play before it happens. Our local radio station is not smart enough to put a delay into their signal to line it up more closely with the TV transmissions. I guess they don't want the added revenue of having more listeners.
