So at least a 20-30 second delay between those two devices, and I have no idea how much of a delay from "live". I would imagine that it is similar to Telus, but couldn't prove it. I was actually surprised that the Fire Stick was earlier than the actual Shaw box.

I am a frequent "time shifter" (record & start late to catch up), so my notifications are all off for sports things. I just have the reminder of the game starting for the Flames (or on a game-by-game basis if watching to watch another team) and that's it.

I am guessing that it isn't so much notifications for you (who needs notifications when you're watching it), but rather checking stats throughout the game. So I get it, but I don't have a solution for you unfortunately.

Thanks. I appreciate the reply. I'm on a pretty good deal with Telus. So, if I'm not going to see a major improvement, I may as well see it out and look at things when the contract is actually up.
