Anyone?, and keep it simple as my knowledge of the inner workings of the net is very basic.

Hi Mark,
TVN stream via the internet I believe is deliberately delayed. Paying/home Foxtel subscribers receive the feed also in delayed time (in fact approx 2 seconds slower) than the commercial Sky feed that costs approx $350 per month for a single channel.
When you consider that 2 seconds is around 12 lengths then anyone trading in run is wasting their time unless they are prepared to invest the ~ $350 month to get the commercial feed. All of the serious in run traders that I know use it for obvious reasons. If you don't have that need and/or don't ever bet in the run then its a moot point.
Hope that helps.
