They say they are working on a viable alternative. The obvious alternative is to do what you were doing for twenty years without this delay. What's a million a month here or there in a industry this strong ?
They have been working on it for almost 2 years now ?????????

That's when most places converted. Before the change Roberts claimed that the difference would be negligible -less than a second. It went from 5 seconds slower at first to 3 seconds - been like this for over a year and a half now. STILL WAITING !!!!!
A manager (Peter Blackmon) at Roberts told me that he can provide tracks/simulcast locations with feeds close to real time - only 1 second delay. Its all about how much you want to spend. He also indicated that most higher ups were satisfied with a 5 second delay and hence what we have now.
Track Management don't give a sh!t - they get paid a salary no matter what happens. We are just a bunch of degenerate idiots anyways.
