Slightly OT: SportSync Radio

Today is the first day (that I know of) that a Cubs game is on both TV and radio. I got a SportSync Radio for Christmas this year, and was wondering if anyone knew what I should should set the dial at to get the radio in sync with the tv. I have Dish Network, if this makes any difference. I am just looking for the delay for WGN and also CSN if anyone has it. Thanks!

I have one and it's great.

But the delay varies not only from station to station but even slightly from day to day so you just have to mess around with it a little until you get it just right

The number of "stations" between source

and eventual receiver (you) will vary; that is how many times a signal is rec’d and re-transmitted. It’s been as small as a second or two, as large as 5-7 seconds.

Even different resolution TV signals on the same cable system vary. Before we went HD in our ground floor family room, I had HD in the basement using a Comcast box. On a rare occasion when my wife would yell down, “turn on this channel”, I’d notice the HD box, say ch-192 for WGNHD would come across 1-2sec before WGN on digital cable upstairs.

You will have to adjust this for each broadcast. I built my own version of this years ago and noticed a big difference between TV and WGN radio when watching a Sunday night ESPN game versus a FOX game of the week on Saturday. The delay between radio and TV was much greater for the ESPN broadcast than for FOX.
