Star Sports 4K Service Launching on Tata Play

I think it primarily depends on coaxial cable length. i.e distance between LNB and STB. More distance might cause delay.

Not at all. Cable Length has no consequence of time taken for transmission of signals from Dish to ur STB. If cable is longer though u would notice some decrease in signal strength / quality as received at ur dish vs on ur STB. Also as i have said do not go by signal readings on STB, these are at many times inaccurate bcoz of hardware/ software difference across STB models, one needs to check it using analog or digital signal meters to know actual reading

I know it's getting off topic from what exactly this thread is about but still HOTSTAR is also Streaming ongoing India Vs Australia Test series 30-40 seconds late as compared to LiveTV (noticed on Star Sports 1 Hindi from ADTV).

Again it is quite common thing and difference in time taken for transmission on OTT or Linear TV is dependent on various factors. Many times ur internet connectivity too could cause the lag specially if u r getting saying that u saw 30 or 40 seconds lag...just press Go Live tab which will be present on screen while u watch the match and issue will get corrected instantly

Remember now they are announced 50 Fps for IPL, high possibility of 50 sec to 2 minutes Delay airing from slow motion. Maybe broadcaster take this one advantage this time against Streaming platform.

Not at all anna. Actually if production of the feed is happening at 60 Hz refresh rate then if u try to convert the same to 50 Hz it will make video streaming to happen very minutely faster as u would notice with certain US based TV shows which when aired on English GEC channels would look to be playing little faster as compared to when u watch it on OTT as again these r produced at 60 Hz which officially adopted standard for NTSC format applicable in US as compared to India where 50 Hz is adopted standard and all transmission for TV Channels is done in PAL format.

Now coming to IPL it will certainly have dual support of both 50 as well as 60 Hz from source end / venue and Jio is opting for 50 Hz as when viewed on TV sets available in India which mostly support 50 Hz format there would be some juddering effect noticed while streaming a 60 Hz video content while on TV Sets / Mobile / Other Smart Devices which support 60 Hz motion play would be smooth. So to provide seamless viewing experience to all viewers on Jio Cinema whether they stream IPL on any device Jio Cinema has opted for 50 Hz format as not only those having TV sets supporting just 50 Hz refresh rate get benefited but as 60 Hz TV sets / devices support 50 Hz format too hence there too motion play would remain smooth

Dude, you are wrong. Coaxial Cable length is also one of the factor that causes transmission delay. It's not like fiber. It's logical also to cause delay.

No buddy. It does not make any difference at all

Dude, I challenge something only after rechecking it, though I think I am more likely right. I expect you to do the same. Please recheck, study about it and then respond.

I am sure on this buddy and not replying back without confirming the same. I know about this hence told u the same

Just to summarize and add to the answer.

You will notice that on Cable TV transmission of channels is either little faster or at par with DTH operators depending on transmission standard used by concerned DTH operator which may be little fast thus matching up with Cable transmission which bcoz of directly happening via coaxial or fiber is faster as compared to satellite transmission of DTH operators which takes time to uplink and then be downlinked at customer end.

However cable operators have to install signal boosters at regular distance to avoid reduction in signal quality / strength as longer the wire from transmission till receiving end greater is the signal loss. Also in digital transmission signal quality / strength do not have any adverse impact on audio or video quality of channels , just that if signals r low then u would get issue of freezing of channels more frequently (incase of bad weather for DTH customers and if there is some signal reduction issue from DTH operator satellite or Cable TV headend).

Even incase of MDU special equipments and dish + Super LNB r installed by DTH operators to minimise loss of signal as thru long wires r drawn to various homes in a society block from the dish antenna

There is no channel playing on number 2310.
Also CC told that Star Sports 4k hasn't launched.
Whats the fuss?
I am talking about Binge plus 4k box only.
