Sky Sports News HQ App delay

What are Now TV doing about the 4 minute delay that appears whenever you use the app?

It has been reported before by more than me but nothing seems to be done about it.

As I have posted this it apparently is 2:54pm

Once I got a friend who has Sky to have the same live channel on at the same time as me on the NOW TV box, we found it was around a 30/45 second delay between the linear Sky service and the IPTV NOW TV stream.  This was a Sky Cinema channel we tested.

 

However, it can depend on your internet how long it takes for the stream to buffer, but it will never be truly live.

I don't think you can watch Sky Sports News HQ App on the laptop unless you subscribe to the sports passes where on the nowtv box there is a dedicated app which you can access if you have either an entertainment, movies, kids or sports pass.
