Hi @Greenback1066

Welcome to the community.

The delay can be between 10 seconds and a coupe of minutes, depending on what device you're watching on. Is it EE TV or a mobile app you're using?

The device i am watching it on is EE TV not mobile app,usually watching it through the Discovery Plus Premium app the TNT Sports channels but not always through that app,like i said is there any way to reduce the time delay getting it down from 2 minutes more towards a live broadcast.When i was previously with Sky probably only got say 10 seconds delay.

Are you able to use a wired ethernet connection, @Greenback1066?

The data speeds can help lowering the delay.

Currently connection is wifi not wired ethernet connection,reason being don't want wires running through house from router/modem to EE mini box which i have,i have been using Powerline adapters with a Ethernet connection and Powerline adapters were plugged into a surge protector 4 way ganger,but gave that up because i was getting pixulation and break up of picture frequently,the way i have it now is by wifi from EE Pro box to EE mini box.

Forgot to mention,i need to get Plug sockets fitted in my bedroom where the Mini Box is situated,that way i have been told by a EE phone operator assistant that,the EE Mini would solve the pixulation and break up of picture i were getting with using the Powerline adapters in a surge protected 4 way extension.

Hi @Greenback1066

This is interesting, thanks for coming to the forums. The channel is close to live.

It is the channel in the TV Guide on our EE TV Box you're watching it from right?

Out of interest, what makes you believe it is 2 minutes behind live broadcast? I subscribe to football alerts etc and I always see goals before notifications for example, however I have noticed recently that Livescore have totally upped their game and their notifications are rapid now.

@Greenback1066

Surge protectors scrub the EETV signal off the mains as ‘noise’ 😢

4-way extensions aren’t ideal, but if you can try one that isn’t surge protected, you may have better luck, and not need new sockets.

I believe it's 2 minutes behind Live broadcast because checked the time of when goals are scored on BBC Sports website and Sky Sports website in their Live scores for football,i used a watch to time it,deffo 2 minutes behind on EE TV mini box not TV Guide.

Greenback1066 — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:16:55 GMT

Thanks for the reply back Midnight_Voice,bear in mind i'm now not using Powerline adapters for the EE TV mini box in my bedroom plugged into the 4 way extension,just using wifi with a HDMI cable from the Mini box into the TV,i've seen a lot less pixulation and break up of picture,in fact none at all now.

@Greenback1066 Can you be a little bit more clear on where you're watching the football that is 2 mins behind live broadcast?

The TV Box Mini has a TV guide with channels that are live, it also has the NOW app and discovery+ app where you can also watch sport but that will around 2 mins behind live broadcast.

Re: Re: What’s the latency for live sports on TNT Sports channels?

Greenback1066 — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:42:47 GMT

Hi,It's the Discovery + app TNT Sports channels and Now TV with the Sky Sports channels that i am watching the football,in your reply you said it would be around 2 mins behind live broadcast,so i guess i'll have to put up with it?,or is there a way to rectify it to bring live tv back in sync.

Re: Re: What’s the latency for live sports on TNT Sports channels?

DarrenW-Tech — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:43:50 GMT

You do know, that those channels are in the TV guide and you don't need to be watching them via the apps?

They are live in the guide!

Re: Re: What’s the latency for live sports on TNT Sports channels?

Greenback1066 — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:52:02 GMT

Hi,Yes i do know that,but only got the Sky Sports channels as in the TV guide,whereas the TNT Sports channels are not in the TV guide only in the Discovery+ app,as only subscribed as part of my package with Discovery+ premium.

Re: Re: What’s the latency for live sports on TNT Sports channels?

DarrenW-Tech — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 20:07:53 GMT

Ah ok gotcha, I got confused because you only get discovery+ premium with Sport if you have a Sport related package meaning you would have the channels in the guide.

So on that note, yes put up with it I suppose, but also I know these products well and it would seem you're lucky to have access to premium, so on that note...

Quick! Hide! 😆

Hi Darren,I've had a look at what i've got in my package and have Now Sports,does that not cover me from having the Discovery Plus Premium?.I'm paying £34.99 a month for the Entertainment.

Hi there @Greenback1066

Thanks for coming back to the community 🙂

Our discovery+ on EE page has information on which TV package includes discovery+ basic and discovery+ premium, the Entertainment and Big Entertainment package includes discovery+ basic.

Leanne.

I have noticed that when the same live coverage is broadcast on TNT sports and Eurosport multicast channels on EETV that the TNT channel is some seconds behind the Eurosport channel. Of course the Eurosport channels will be no more after today.

@Greenback1066 you must have TNT in the guide too, only way to get Sky in the guide is a tv package & the packages that have Sky all have TNT in the guide & via discovery+ included too

Re: Re: What’s the latency for live sports on TNT Sports channels?

Midnight_Voice — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 14:10:40 GMT

@garybs29

Not true.

Anyone with EETV will always find TNT in the EPG, but these channels will only actually work if the correct subscription has been bought, and it’s perfectly possible to subscribe to Now Sky Sports without also subscribing to TNT.

Also, those customers who have taken TNT as a bundled offer with a product from the EE Store have found that it is only accessible via the Discovery+ app, and not via the EETV EPG.
