Time delay between Live-TV and a Streaming device.

  I recently discovered that there are a few minutes time delay between what is broadcasted live on TV (Bloomberg & CNBC) and what I see on my online streaming device.
  The internet connection is FTTH 20Mb/s – fast enough to stream.

  The problem is the delay in news when there is an important news flash or press conference (ie Fed etc.)
  This time delay becomes crucial to the manual/live traders. Few minutes can make a big difference in trading.
  You see the market move but don’t know why and only minutes later discovered the Feb or Trump etc made some important announcement.

   

  So, if you waiting to react/trade to latest news then watch it on live-tv and not streaming device.
