After all he did for us, he deserves to be able to stink it up a little in the broadcast booth.... 409962[/snapback] To tell the truth, I enjoy him as a color man on regular season broadcasts, Play-by-play is a different world however and its easy to see why he may struggle at it. What sucks is you can't "turn down the sound" and put on the radio because (at least on Saturday Night) there was MORE than a 10 second difference between the radio and TV. Don't you all think that the radio feed losses a lot of listeners due to this huge discrepency. Does anyone know why they don't try to sych up better???

drnykterstein Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Don't you all think that the radio feed losses a lot of listeners due to this huge discrepency. I called the edge last year and asked them about it. They said they were working on it, and it would be right in a few weeks. They never got it right.

#89 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 In WNY you can watch the TV mute the sound and listen to the radio with John Murphy, Alex Van Pelt and Jeff Burris. I'll tape Steve and Marv for later and listen to the radio at the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkwwjd Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 There's almost no way to sync it up. Open air antenna, cable, and satellite have all different delay times. Someone who is way more attuned to the technology could explain it better than me, but I know for sure there is a difference so radio couldn't sync to the TV cuz it wouldn't know which to sync to.

kasper13 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If you are going to the game, the weather is looking more like it will not be ideal for football. 90 degrees, humid, windy and numerous T-Storms. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said above, the TV and Radio synch are off (or were last saturday) by over 10 seconds. On one play, the radio had already run a play and the TV was still on a commercial break.

Maybe its worse for me because I have DirecTv. I don't even here the radio spots encouraging people to "turn down the sound" anymore, so they must be aware of the difficulty people face.

aussiew Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 What "Network" is showing it? I don't know the channels up there and sometimes we can a rogue satellite signal down here on a big dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the frustration perfectly. Add TIVO to the mix and you have a recipe for A/V Retatta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#89 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Maybe the NFL network also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiew Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Maybe the NFL network also? Yep. That's my 2nd choice but it will be on tape delay and I won't see it until the 22nd. I'm just seeing the Colts game this afternoon at 3pm Central. Yuk. But there's a Champs sports bar here that has the big dishes and they say they can get the preseason games via satellite as long as they are on a major network and they can catch a rogue signal. But they don't know if it will come through until after the game actually starts. What a way to screw with your afternoon! This is so damn complicated. I think we should revolt. Why should pre-season games be so difficult to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boco357 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 ORCHARD PARK, NY - The Buffalo Bills announced Wednesday that Turkey Hill Dairy has purchased the remaining seats for the Bills Kids’ Day preseason game against the Packers at Ralph Wilson Stadium making the event sold out for the second consecutive year.

To celebrate this partnership, Turkey Hill Dairy will also host an ice cream party for patients at Women & Children’s Hospital on Friday, August 19th from 1-3 pm. Turkey Hill will provide ice cream and sugar free treats while Bills’ mascot Billy Buffalo will provide the entertainment.
