TV doesn't seem to care about time sync much these days. It also depends

I get most of my TV via satellite (Dish network). The receiver I have
also can get OTA. I have happened to notice, once, that I had a local
channel on two TVs. One was receiving the local

Oh, they do. Just ask Magnus :-)
The thing is, that video delay in digital systems is hard to keep down
with all the intermediate process
Hi Magnus
Thanks for the detailed information.
btw, I've found an easier way to get histogram : sort tdc_test.txt |

Why not run the "normal" ntpd? Seems it would do what you want.
I don't see how a PPS source can NOT be supported. I'm talking about just
the 1Hz square wave signal, no serial data. Just like ntpd's type 22
clock. See this

Hi,
Yes, that is a much quicker approach.
Bit of warning, I might have an error in the details of re-creating the
expected histogram, that was done in haste. I might have to correct that
eventually, but it shows the principle.
I also did not add plots of the histogram, estimated histogram an

Here in central PA, ABC was almost exactly 10 seconds slow. That’s about 2
seconds longer than the delay in past years. Even with digital and a direct
network feed, there are a variable number of buffers in the chain.

It is not that they don't care about time sync, it is that they
have to follow the rules of causality.
Because the whole digitization, broadcast, and display process
of digital TV processes seconds to minutes of material at a time,

We have DirecTV with some receivers standard

Even OTA HD is delayed considerably, as noted

We have Brighthouse cable here in Central FL and the delay is horrendous. When
setting up the DVR recorder integrated in the cable box we have to adjust the
start and stop times -/+ 1 minute respectively on a regular basis. The delay is
less than a minute, but the adjustment resolution is 1 min
Chuck,
In digital times, the main reason for creating delays is due to the
temporal compression of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Production quality is either
not compressed or JPEG-2000 compressed. If you do not compress at all,
delay structure can be similar to that of analog video days. JPEG-2000

Modern Science at it's best ...
Some years ago, before the days of Digital TV, I used to compare an OTA
NFL broadcast of a certain game with the cable broadcast of the same game.
The difference was striking.
So, they improved things, now it's all lousy !!

That delay might be intentional in case someone says something that has to
be bleeped out.

Also, ever since the infamous Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" almost all
live TV in the US is on a mandatory delay of several seconds so that offensive
(?) images and language can be censored.
I have a DTV-PAL over-the-air DVR box (made by Dish/Channelmaster, long since
discontinued). Ear
I think if you re-install any normal OS out of the box it will have the
standard NTP included. Just get Ubuntu Linux then it will have ntpd
already setup.
Without PPS there is little point in having a GPS. These questions are
best asked in the NTP mailing list. http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo

Hi Magnus,
I strongly suspect that the major cause of time lag in TV programs
seen on Digital over-the-air TV is in the TV sets themselves.
My evidence for this is observation of simulcast programs that are
broadcast in both HD and LD on different channels of the same
station. The HD always lag
