Rathore: Time gap of live matches between Star Sports and DD is three to four secs

[THAKUR]

The Government says it has no information about any time delay in telecast by Star Sports of cricket matches or bookies taking advantage in any manner.



Quoting Prasar Bharati, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhavn Rathore told the Rajya Sabha that there was a time gap of just three to four seconds on Doordarshan terrestrial transmission compared to that on Star Sports due to down-linking of signals and re-telecasting for terrestrial network and final telecast by Doordarshan terrestrial transmitters. The delay was due to time taken by the signal to travel back and forth to the satellite and processing by terrestrial transmitters, he said.



Prasar Bharati had told the ministry that it had no information about time delay in telecast by Star Sports or bookies taking advantage in any manner. The pubcaster also said it had not received any complaints in this regard.

Not much difference but 15 -20 secs max and it differs in dth platforms too.

For bookies, this time is more than enough to make lot of money

 

[Technoglitch]

If they get 15 sec adv then it would be a great advantage unless someone is present at the venue.

 

[Teufel]

Bookies are using terrestrial network to get DD National now ?

 

[Technoglitch]

Only they can tell.

 

[DashMajor]

Star SPORTS broadcast late then DD.

 

[Manu]

Sure.. There is Time Delay at least 10 - 15 Seconds.

But No Wonder Prasar Bharati is unaware about it.
