Same show on two tvs

[GBKeeper]

I have 2 tvs, each with their own Ignite box. Can I select a show on one of them and have it play on both tvs simultaneously so I can watch the same show as I move from room to room?

Each box is its own independent stream.

So, for TV, yes - tune each box to the same channel

For streaming services, no. You can't "cast" one box/stream to another box.

Thank you.

and I have $5.00 says they will not be in complete synch. Have watched ball game on bedroom Xi6 within ear shot of living room TV and Xi6 which my wife is watching. Not in 100% synch. Sometimes 1-2 seconds difference.

To me that makes sense tho.
While technically being broadcast at the same time..
Each box when you tune to the channel, has to start the stream and buffer for a few seconds, that buffer could cause that delay.

I had a tv in the kitchen and one in the living room that I could watch at the same time from the kitchen table with no glitching on cable.  Now I have ignite and there is a 2 second delay...so aggravating!!!  Makes me regret my decision to change!

How irritated when the two TVs are close to each other , same problem , I have to turn up the volume on the one I'm watching 😤

Any way to adjust the buffer ? Pause one for a few seconds and then hit play ?

Me toooo , direct cable was perfect , but they made me switch to Blue Curve and the problems started 😭😭😭

I usually sync with Pause .

1. Count seconds of difference between the two

2. Pause the one that's a ahead for that amount of seconds then press Play

It might take a few tries but it works for me.

For TV:

I have never tried because I just thought of it but maybe you can also just tune to the the same channel at the same time with the remotes since they are not using IR (line of sight).

As a recent updater to Xfinity STB, I can confirm that the XI6 STB have a couple of second delay compared to the previous NextBox STB which I noticed when I switched between video inputs (NextBox to XI6) on my HDTV and heard/saw the same content again that I had just viewed on the NextBox. It seems that watching Broadcast content on Xfinity TV is no longer in real time as it is delayed by the extra processing & delivery method. The trade off now though is that you can pause, restart (if option available), rewind & fast forward (when applicable) so I guess this new fangled progress isn't all bad.
