Is there a delay with live tv?

Yes, I do see some delay while watching live tv.But I am not sure whether it is the upload speed of my internet connection or inherent slowness of sling player.

It really depends on the Internet speed you have at home plus the Internet speed where you are using it. We have 10 MB/s at home, and I have seen a few interruptions but nothing major. To us, it's well worth it

I have my Slingbox connected to my Hopper and have a 30 MB/s download/6 MB/s upload internet speed. I just tested the delay-it's about 4 seconds. It will vary based on your internet speeds. I've tested it over LTE signal snd there's usually no buffering on loading, but I couldn't say how long the delay is-and it really doesn't matter, because you're watching TV on your phone!

From what I can tell it's is only about 5 seconds or so. This is over home wi-fi.

I have experienced no delay. I use it to connect a Raspberry Pi's HDMI connector to a re-purposed vga display. Other factors can cause lag, typically the use of a USB hub.

I really don't do any quick changes....most of the time it's on the Satellite, rather than the DVD player, or roku. Haven't had any problems with it. I think it takes a second to change the signal source, but I would expect that. I have a 6 year old Samsung 61" TV and it takes a bit longer than the Kinivo to switch sources. The delay does not seem bothersome to us.

i think you should be OK. i used it to hook up directv to all the other TV's in my mother-in-laws house using 1 HD-DVR. I did not encounter any delay but i was not using it for gaming, only viewing.

There is no video lag on television programs or transcribing television material. I am not a game player so am unable to directly answer your question.

Not that I have noticed, but the software records at about a 1-2 second delay. So make sure you use a second monitor/TV.

I didn't do any exact timing, but I tried running a few iPhone apps through it (WatchESPN, Garageband, a pinball game) and didn't notice any significant delay. In particular, I couldn't see any noticeable delay between the video and audio on the ESPN app. I don't think you would have a problem.

I believe so. I just hooked mine up a few days ago. You can go online and download the manual. It does say something about a delay

I'm not sure if there would be a delay, I have audio and video both going through the system.

i'd stay away from it for now, not a delay thing, but a hotfix/security update or something for windows that installed at night, killed it.. As an alternative look for a vga or hdmi extension cable (depending on what your system puter has)

In the review posted by Timothy Mc, he mentions that "Pausing live TV takes several steps. Instead of just pressing a pause button on the remote that automatically puts the live program in time shift mode, one presses a button on the remote that then prompts you if you want to timeshift. If so, then you choose for how long. I like 60 minutes". This sounds like a Yes and No answer, apparently you CAN pause it, but it sounds like maybe only for 60 minutes or whatever time you choose (Up to 4 hours with latest firmware upgrade). Hope this helps.

Yes, in either of 2 ways: 1) If you programmed a recording, you can begin watching before it ends 2) While watching live TV, it remembers prior 30 minutes automatically. You can pause for up to 30 minutes and resume. You can also rewind if you missed something. Just don't get more than 30 minutes behind in "Live" mode.

I have not noticed any delay. I listen with headphones and turn tv sound off. Very pleased with this product.

If there is a delay it would be in the sub-millisecond level. I think you can ignore it.JohnSellars

There is a .2 second delay. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405385,00.asp?tab=Specs

I have found no delay. I have a room upstairs with 2 Play:1 speakers and a Sonos Sub, and downstairs in the living room, a Connect that is attached to my home theater system via an optical cable. When I join the two rooms in house party mode (everyone playing same source) and I stand halfway up the stairs, I hear no delays.

I can tell you that the output of the Geffen digital to analog converter, currently in my system, has ZERO propagation delay - IT IS IN SYNC WITH THE VIDEO... The ONLY item I would caution you on is - every "once-in-a-while" DIRECT TV's digital box will output a "glitch" on its DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT - this manifests itslf as a POP (quite loud) in my audio stream... This COULD cause some discomfort to you with your hearing aides... FYI...
