Well, this all seems to have started after Janet's infamous "Wardrobe
Malfunction"... the radio & TV used to be within a fraction of a second of each
other, discernable only by hearing the sound of a crack of the bat, pop in a glove,
etc. Now, whether it's on YES, ESPN, or Channel 9 in NYC, that delay is
always approximately 10 seconds. It didn't use to be there. That's why I wonder if
it's deliberate.
The sync idea isn't to get them exact... I don't care if there's a second or
two, as long as the radio audio emerges AFTER the TV action, that's cool.
So... I'm still wondering if such a software app exists! I have a Ham DSP
program that yeilds about 1/2 sec delay, so I know it's possible!
