Channel 7 Broadcast - Tips on how to synch to the radio

[hells bells 2,023]

I dread the thought of having to listen to BT and JB in the biggest game in 21 years.

Does anyone have any tips on how to synch the Broadcast on TV to the radio, digital or otherwise?  I'm thinking SEN with Gerard and Huddo.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

SEN app is generally about 30 seconds delayed from live. If you have the ability to pause live tv (either via kayo, foxtel etc) I'd be pausing your live tv for 30 seconds and getting it into sync with the broadcast via the SEN app

This is what I would normally do throughout the year but the Grand Final is only broadcast on Ch 7 and 7 HD. Can these channels be paused?

Honestly If anyone tried to start doing this just before this match, either I or they would go. Might be ugly.

It's Dennis John Cometti's last call for Triple M. Having that sync'd would be the only way to go IMHO.

If you have a digital TV or digi set top box like Foxtel IQ3 that the FTA signal comes through then yes you can pause and restart.

True I had forgotten about that. Another option could be to chromecast from the 7+ app, pause it from there and then sync it to SEN...

Have a look at DaanSystems - Radiodelay for a free download of the appropriate software.

It would be good for Ch7 to have BT and JB on one channel and Jason Bennett/Hamish on the other channel.  Let the people vote.

Can someone clarify if Foxtel will carry the Ch7 broadcast or do I actually have to watch Ch 7?

I wondered that too. Probably same vision, but I wonder if its different commentary on Foxtel???

You are stuck watching channel 7

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,843]

Another option . . . sound down with Roy and HG on while regularly checking the Demonland game day thread. Most 'Landers know more about the game than channel 7, so you get to have a laugh and not go insane listening to the Salad Dodger and James Notsoshaw.

You're stuck with CH 7 adds.

Last year Fox Footy showed footage of an empty studio for 3 hours.

If Hamish and Basil are the chief commentators this year then I'm boycotting the grand final and will find out the score the next morning.

[DEE fence 5,007]

Am going to be watching on a small delay so that the app can buffer at a HD resolution, not a sure thing here in Sudan, makes sense to try and take advantage of MMM or SEN. It is resisting the temptation to check real time scores that is hard. Thanks for good suggestions.

Not sure where to put this question but here is as good as any. 
 

There were a few of us that couldn’t watch The Brownlow as it wasn’t streamed they 7+ . Many assured we will be able to watch the GF if you had 7+ and Apple TV device but should we be concerned if it still doesn’t come up in a search on the app??

Worried!

[Roger Mellie 4,010]

The picture quality on Ch 7 is crud, let alone the aural offence of BT and JB.

Is there anyway to get HD Ch 7 on Poxtel? I can't get digital and the only way to torture yourself with Ch7 is via Poxtel. For what ever reason, the picture quality is rubbish! I'd be tempted to drag out the B & W with bunny ears if I still had one. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Then I can venture into the abyss of intelligent commentary.

If the Brownlow telecast and the ch 7 information is anything to go by, this will not work.  Only 7+ apps on certain TVs etc will work.  Android phones/tablets won't work.

[Superunknown 4,215]

Will the 7mate app have it? If so, on a smart TV, maybe do that plus radio. 
my Sony Bravia i think will stream it via 7mate so that might work for some if you have a smart TV (to be fair I just go my first one - first new TV since 2008!)

I have 7HD through the Optus NBN set top box (can’t remember it’s name and can’t be bothered getting up to check)* so can pause TV to synch with 3AW or SEN.  
Usually I prefer to run Kayo through the smart TV mainly to skip the ad breaks after every goal, but isn’t the GF only on 7, which means bloody ad breaks all the time (hopefully 30 times, for each of our goals!).

That is the 7 mate app which is channel 7’s digital streaming solution ( what Kayo is to Foxtel). Usually digital streaming rights and terrestrial (free to air) broadcasting rights are split up, but it appears as though ch7 has both.

Might want to see if you can pause n play live TV on 7 mate and not leave it to GF day.

I thought the Prelim team did a great job at commentating (bennett, Mclachlan, Leppitsch etc). I'm usually yelling at the tv to tell the commentators to just  shut up ! a lot of the time but enjoyed the prelim commentary.  My wife came in and asked who had commentated and I couldnt tell her, so I thought that if they hadnt annoyed me for the whole game they must have done ok.  BT or Eddie are nauseating.
