missed chance by sky

[Keith]

I think you will find, the Sky pictures are about 5 seconds behind the Radio Commentary, so unless you have   Sky Plus and watch the game 5 secs delayed the Radio commentary is no good to you.

I tried listeneing to the Barrow - Crusaders game on Radio Cumbria online, whilst watching the Welsh channel, and there was a delay BUT is there a delay if you listen to the normal radio commentary (i.e. not online)

[Martin]

The pictures on Sky are transmitted by sending a signal up to the Satellite which is then beamed down to your dish the Satellite is in orbit  22,000 miles or so up in the air ! I can remember reading ages ago that it takes approx 3.5 seconds to get to your telly. Radio signals are only coming from less than 50 miles away, the commentary reaches Carlisle on a phone line, so you hear that just about the actual time it happens.

What  a  missed  opportunity  by  SKY.  They  show  1  game  over  the  weekend  which  was  a  1  sided  international.

Instead  they  could  have  shown  2  much  better  NRC  games.

Still  their  loss.  They'll  learn  some  day

It will be better for Haven if Sky leave the Haven fuxtures alone.
Carlisle football lost money when their matches were shown on sky.
This was due the cash received from sky being less than the money lost of gate receipts.
There's enough people in Whitehaven who would rather sit in the pub or at home than make the short journey to the rec.
Its best not to give people the excuse not to come to the home games.
