Yes. That does occur, but generally not for 3/3 tracks. In Tasmania we get RSN until 1pm then Radio TAB. I wonder if that will make a difference.
There's been a few times previously where the radio has been behind the TV for a day or so. I remember a little period in maybe August 2018 when it went on for days.

Are you listening to AM radio or are you listening to DAB?
My AM radio is about 3 to 4 seconds in front of Sky Racing 1 on the Foxtel feed and is clearly ahead of the in players.
Of course relying on the radio means relying on the accuracy of the race caller (and sometimes .... ). But, you are experienced and I understand it would be factored in to your strategy.
Obviously no track siders with the lockdown in Vic for that last at Sandown, the winner was obviously in the middle and I am sure experienced track siders would have pushed it to 1.01 instead of the 1.15 it finished at. And I am guessing the caller might night have been at the track? because he called the photo without saying what had happened with the push in the middle. Often times they say "photo, but I reckon X has got up there".
oh, ok, so relayed and rebroadcast radio
So is it 1008 out of Launceston? - http://www.radioheritage.net/Australia/amtas.asp

Do we have any experts in streaming and the various protocols used on here? I'm working on a theory here but lack the technical expertise to know whether or not what I'm proposing is possible. Was going to list it on Upwork but don't want it up there for the entire world to find in a Google search!

when working in WA a couple of years ago I was installing Sky set top boxes into radio towers for remote areas. All of the metro feeds were slower than Sky also, makes me wonder how they will deliver DAB in cities and if they will actually turn off AM eventually?
Old mate with the fast feed may have killed everything by then

Slightly different subject, for an AFL match the "live vision" on my phone is about 20 seconds behind the live play, and I guess that might be even further behind say Foxtel (which would be behind free to air).
Be interesting if someone goes trackside one day with a radio to check it all out - and interesting if there are still track siders making a dollar out the caper.

It's only early, but markets seem to be performing much more normally than yesterday. The real-time streamers don't seem to have the same advantage as the market is only reacting simultaneously or after the AM call. Betfair is even sometimes suspending after the conclusion of the race on the radio.
Very odd. I can't explain it. Let's just see how this one plays out today.

I was talking to a guy from RSN in Vic a couple of weeks back about one of their satellites having a recent increase in the delay. He checked it out for me, and then went and fixed it.
He told me that it was now 2 secs behind HQ which he was happy with.

Yes, its the links, protocals and retransmissions that slows things down behind the original broadcast.
Really good investigative work there Anbell.
Interesting. Thankyou. Could the satelite have also slipped for Radio TAB and been rectified?
I don't really see a problem so far today, but it was getting gradually worse this month (I first had an average but tricky Saturday 1 August) before yesterday which I found a shambles.
After 60,000 races you generally get a feel for what is normal and what isn't. This is even if you can't explicitly quanitfy it.
That's true, but remember BF recently changed their protocols/practices as wellAarondewit wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 5:02 amInteresting. Thankyou. Could the satelite have also slipped for Radio TAB and been rectified?
