FWIW, I just sent the following email to the feedback address. I'll post any response here, but I'd be surprised if I got one.

I have a question/comment that I’d like a response on.

Why is it that the game audio on the subjected channels is so far ahead of the action? This has been an ongoing problem for some time now. It is to the point that, I literally know what is going to happen before it actually happens, and watch games with audio mute at the ready for scoring chances as a counteractive measure. Which as one might imagine, completely ruins the experience of watching live sports, and is a totally ridiculous way to spend an evening.

As far as I know, yours is the only channel I have ever watched live sports on that has this problem on an ongoing basis. TSN, CBC, CBS, FOX, NBC, hockey, football, golf, etc./you name it, and Sportsnet is the lone inadequate network. Technical difficulties I can fathom, but this seems to be a more fundamental problem. I have heard from multiple local sources with varying providers that have the same issue, and quite frankly it’s unacceptable to me as a paying customer. (Have a look for yourselves at just how satisfied people are: http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=112191).

Can/will this ever be fixed? Does anybody on your end actually care?

Yours,

A truly dissatisfied customer.
