Thanks, Kevin. Those are good points on the delay.

Subject: RE: audio at a live hockey game

 

Hi.

 

You might be able to find an app to get the hockey game, but the audio will 
probably lag behind the live action.  This is due to the internet relaying the 
audio from the arena to a server somewhere on Earth, and then it’s relayed 
through other servers back to you.  I don’t fully understand why this is the 
case, since VOIP programs like Skype give almost instant communications between 
computers over great distances.

 

Wish I had better news.  If it were me I’d invest a few dollars on an 
inexpensive radio to get the game.  Oh yeah, speaking of getting the game over 
the air, some stations delay the over the air broadcast for at least seven 
seconds, and maybe even more.  I think they do this so if the mics that pick up 
the action in the arena catch one of those words that you don’t use on the 
radio, the station can hit a button to cut the offending word from going over 
the air.  I experienced this at a Kentucky Basketball game.  I had a radio with 
me to hear the game.  The crowd would get excited about something that 
happened, and about fifteen seconds later I’d hear what happened to get them so 
excited.  Some venues have a transmitter that is designed to cover only the 
inside of the arena, and you tune to that frequency to hear the game.

 

Whatever you do, good luck.  You might want to contact either the Avalanche 
team, the arena where they play, or the radio station that broadcasts the game 
and see what’s available.  Who knows.  There may indeed be an app that will do 
exactly what you desire.  I’m just telling you what I’ve experienced.

 

Have a blessed day, and don’t work too hard.
