Hello,
I know of no app that will do this. Actually, it is probably difficult
because it is a digital broadcast in many cases. For example, if I put the
At Bat app on my iphone and then tune into the radio feed, the radio feed is
far ahead of the At Bat broadcast. Also, the standard radio feed is usually
ahead of the digital broadcast on my TV, less so if I dont use high
definition channels.
In Boston, we have actually had to lobby for the synchronization of the
radio feed that is sent to patrons in the park through dedicated receivers
to ensure that it synchronizes with the action.

Subject: accessible-iOS Synchronizing sports audio feeds with TV broadcast
Hello list,
I was wondering if what I was looking for is already out there in some way
shape or form. Be it through an iOS app for tablet, phone or Apple TV. That
or some other type of set up with a third party device in conjunction with
any of the i-devices.
Im looking for a means to have the audio from a sporting event like
football, baseball, basketball, etc. synchronized with the broadcast on
television. I am aware that there are apps that allow one to listen to all
the local radio folks from various teams already. I in fact have the At bat
and Pro Football radio apps and others on my phone for example, but what I
want is to be able to have that radio stream thrown to the television and
stay synced in real time.
I personally dont care for the TV broadcasts and am always inclined to the
radio option, but on occasions where I may have sighted guests over or be
invited to a get together for a game, I would like to have this option.
Especially since games tend to be paused or rewound and fast forwarded all
the time in these types of settings. So its not just as simple as launching
the stream be it from an app or even from a laptop and getting them more or
less at the same time and never altering the TV broadcast in real time.
I have come across some solutions, but they seem to be geared more towards
getting an actual radio and television to play nice. Not really an answer
when a game you want to watch is an out of market one. That, and again, the
pause/fast forward/rewind variable too.
Anyway, I figured that as popular as the At Bat app is as an example, some
folks are already doing this since lots of people have an affinity for their
teams radio guys over the TV ones or a network broadcast be it sighted or
blind.
If anyone knows how this could be done with any of the i-devices or Apple TV
or again, something else entirely, I would appreciate any enlightenment. If
the solution is in fact an non iOS one, then Id appreciate an off list
message as well.
Thanks,
Cristobal
