Trying to sync video of football game w/ Audio of radio br..

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

There are commercial units that run delay for radio stations. I can never
figure why radio stations don't use them to synch up their broadcasts with
football TV -- it could not be very hard. Listening to "psychic
play-by-play" with TV video is really irritating. Also, not hard to imagine
a small unit that would just send the digitized radio signal to a disk or
chip and then out again after a specified delay. Should be cheap but
apparently no one who could do that thinks there is a good market for it.
Also, not sure if you could integrate it with an existing system, such as a
home theater setup.

Exactly what I want, thank you.

I've also posted this request in an electronics ng, so we'll see if
there's a relatively simple circuit that can do the same. I'm willing
to bet there is.

Your welcome. Yeah, it doesn't seem like something that could be overly
complicated. Almost as if it could be done with a PCB, a few components
and IC's, and an hour with a solder gun. Post back if someone has any plans
to it! I'd like to build something like that myself. (Can't really justify
$140 for just a few games, but for like $40 or so it would be a fun
project.)

Thanks!

My step-dad does this using his TiVo unit...he just pauses the TiVo for
a few seconds, and then starts the playback again while listening to the
radio. Within one or two attempts, he seems to get it the TiVo-delayed
picture synced up with the radio broadcast.

I don't think he does this.... ;-)
