You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein

And I answered your UZR question in the last thread, if you’re still interested

I work for a German production house, and we do the major league German soccer here.
Satellite feeds can also be delayed by many many seconds, especially if the signal is sent over more than one satellite and needs be be transcoded more than once or twice, etc. So it could very easily be your Dish Network which is putting you into a time warp.
