Is it possible to watch game on TV and listen online in sync?

I just can't stomach Aikman and buck and figure they will be calling the game. Any way to find Babe and company online and listen to them while watching on tv?

Buck may not be there, as he is doing baseball. Though he could fly to NY from KC, since the series ended last night. Do the game, then get back to KC by Tuesday night for the start of the WS.
Though I don't believe he has ever done that before. but if he can irritate Dallas fans, he may just do that.

From what I understand, it is very tough to sync up games. Though some have said they done it. You may need to live with the 7 second delay or whatever it is. Depending on your Buck / Aikman tolerance level.
Not sure what the delay is if you use Sirius XM though, if you have that. Only way I know of to try to sync. DVR, then start watching as radio broadcast starts. But it may be easier said than done.

When I went to dish I had to give up listening to the radio broadcasts with the TV sound off.

I know that they are not in sync.

If the TV is ahead of the radio, you and just use the DVR to sync it up; however, if the Radio is ahead of the TV I don't know if it's possible to delay the radio on the internet app.

I do that sometimes esp with F1 races since I like to listen to Sky Sports F1 commentary (more knowledgeable analysts they have there with no commercial breaks too).
Since the online voice for me is a little late by few seconds I use my DVR to mute and hold picture until they are almost in perfect sync. It takes a moment of tweaking between FFWD/REW.

:cool:

Yes, if the Internet Audio is lagging the TV broadcast, it's easy to use the DVR to sync them up. I don't know about the audio delay through the internet, but I know that the DirecTV or Cable lag behind a normal radio.

Since radio doesn't have the delay that video feeds have, you can pause the radio broadcast and wait for the image to press play and sync both.
It may take two or three trys, but it's not that hard.

Of course, radio has to be online, and you will be better playing it with software, not with a flash web stream.

I used to do this to watch games, but with spanish audio.

If you listen to the game in surround sound, and it's being broadcast in 5.1 or higher, you can simply turn the volume on the center channel all the way down. Then you hear the crowd, and you can hear the game announcer in the background as well, but the TV announcers will just be a very faint murmur. Commercials can get a little screwy though, because they usually aren't in surround sound - so they may be loud when they come on and all of the speaking is coming from your surround/front channel speakers which you may have turned up louder than normal.

Syncing the online audio with the game is really easy, especially with the way that Brad Sham announces the game on the radio, if you're listening online, as I do with Sirius/XM. The radio feed is always about 3-5 minutes behind the TV broadcast. So I pause the broadcast just as the kicker kicks the ball for the opening kickoff.

Brad Sham actually announces the moment of the kickoff on the radio, so you just un-pause once he says, "here's the opening kickoff." From there, you're good for the rest of the game.

The only problem is that I can't delay Twitter, so if you follow the game there too, that is an issue.

On a similar note, when I'm watching a stream of the game, it's usually delayed a few seconds. So, when I'm refreshing the game thread here, I sometimes get the reactions to big plays before I see them. In some ways, I kind of like that. People going nuts in the thread and I know that something awesome/terrible is about to happen. It almost takes the edge off without ruining it.
