Walk into a bar and pay as you travel closer and closer to the livest screen. Ahhhhh.... you spent well tonight, the beer-drinking, rubble-rumbling fan of whatever it is of which you are a fan.

...there might even be one monitor that shows extrapolations of the live footage, allowing a glimpse into the one- or two-frame future... |

But if you stand further away from the screen, you already see the action later than someone next to the screen. |

I've been in a pub before watching football in which one screen was
from a digital signal and the other from an analogue one. This resulted
in a 10 second lapse, facilitating instantaneous viewer-defined action
replay via the rotation of a few degrees of one's head, dependent on
your position in the establishment. |

Ah, well, my favorite channel is the History Channel anyway. Does this mean my beer would be free? |

Hmm, this is actually possible and quite a decent idea. Just need an internet-capable TV with a radio-controlled clock. We could brand it Simulcast. |
|

1) Use the local time signal transmitter
2) Digital broadcast encodes a desired transmission time.
3) Buffer the stream until it is time to broadcast |
|
| |
Now for a SimulDrink to go with it... |

If you live your life slowly enough (think "giant tortoise" or "Joshua Tree"), the BBC and Dave do this quite well. |
