Radio sync options

[ISASO]

For those who want to listen to Mike and Dave/Bob instead of the TV guys, here are a couple of options:

Option 1 is the Sports Sync Radio:

Option 2 is a little more work, but is free if you already own a radio and a cable that you've hesitated to throw away, knowing that you'll surely need it someday:

The software is free but you need:
1. An AM radio with a headphone jack (which they all do)
2. A standard 3.5mm male-to-male headphone cord
3. A computer (Windows OS) with a line in jack and speakers

Here's a YouTube video that explains it:

This worked really well for us last night when the delay was about 15 seconds. Maybe I'll upgrade from computer speakers with subwoofer to the home theater speakers.

I have Option 1. It works just fine, but I am sure it is not a high quality radio.

I bought the radio. After one or two uses, it did not work properly. I called the vendor and ask for a replacement. I offered to return the radio. The vendor said it was not necessary. The vendor sent a replacement radio and it works fine. So now I have two radios. One, which works fine and one, which does not work fine.

I am able to adjust for a maximum of 16 seconds of lag time.

Senora Rio and I only use it for Shocker games and Mike Kennedy.

The cost is a little pricey, but we are fine with it.

I assume both of these options only work if you're actually in the listening area. For those of us out-of-towners, I'm not aware of any way to pause through shockerradio, TuneIn or FMStream.

TuneIn app (in iOS) lets you pause. So I pause that and pause the DVR and I sync up. Easy breezy.

Just a heads up for you, and anyone else. Shockerradio.com also has a pause feature. It isn't nearly as far behind as Tune-In. So I use that. I do not get as far behind real time. That way I don't have to avoid looking on ShockerNet, Twitter, ect. And see what happened before I actually see it.

Can you put a price on freedom (from Bruce and Craig)?

An exemplary question and a damn good question too.

The answer is in the negative, especially C.

Concur. This is terrifically easy to do, works great, and requires no additional equipment than what most people already have.

The flash player on shockerradio.com should definitely let you pause. I can't say for sure how much it will buffer but certainly enough to get you in sync with the DVR.

Tune in app on android works great for me, just sync to the Bluetooth speaker and I can pause either the tv or the radio.

I just listen to ShockerRadio through Media Player. The Media Player pause button works just fine.
