DD is stil in the old age. Hoep they shud realise that atleast by now.
This tells the story
Look at what DD official is saying about the ADS
On Sunday, even while the Organising Committee finally managed to get things right and put up a spectacular extravaganza, for millions of television viewers, the effect was marred by Doordarshan's decision to cram in as many commercial breaks as they could. What we saw was definitely not a “live telecast”. The ad breaks also meant that the video footage being shown with a ‘live’ tag, was running about 15 minutes late by the time the Indian contingent began their march. So while viewers cheered flag-bearer Abhinav Bindra as he led the home side in, spectators at the stadium were listening to Mike Fennell. “I don't think I have ever seen so many commercial breaks during the opening ceremony of an international event,” said a viewer.
Incidentally, Aruna Sharma, DD's director-general, was livid when asked why DD spoiled the effect of the ceremony for TV viewers. Stating that opening ceremonies were major sources of revenue, she added: “Our viewers are getting every single detail from the stadium in the best quality possible. Do not indulge in nit-picking or I will take you to court.” She denied the event was deferred live but admitted that because a commercial lasting 60-90 seconds (approximately) ends with those 90 seconds of telecast being replayed, it led to a delay.

DD in HD?????
Yeah and that too with horrible Audio and long ad breaks, that too from a state owned, public broadcaster is reprehensible and totally unacceptable.
Another stupid thing by DD is dat there no "LIVE" mentioned in DD HD

HD - Insat 4B at 93.5°E - LyngSat
DD's HD channel is FTA on C band & Ku band, and any FTA HD STB can receive this channel. Ideally all operators should provide DD channels for free as DD has made them compulsory to carry their channels, and I guess DD is not charging for their feed.
(But if we dont pay DTH rental or any subscription fee, operator has right to block the STB for reception of any channel, provided STB is given on rental, and not owned by customer).

BBC's TV broadcast was also having slight (2~3 min) delay compared to online streaming.
And BBC doesnt show any logo, nor 'LIVE' along with any broadcast

Naturally if it isnt "LIVE" they didnt mention it. I heard that DD was behind by 1 hour
