There's always a delay though - not counting bleep delays and such, electricity takes time to travel as does the signal so I don't think arguing about streaming not being immediate works.

I actually meant the whole processing chain for digital, encoding etc.
But it's actually much simpler, there is no live TV broadcast anymore:Why is live TV on a delay?
Today, many live broadcasts on TV aren't truly live. Instead, broadcasters will transmit the feed with a delay of a few seconds. It's a simple procedure that gives them leeway in case something unrehearsed happens that can't be shown on screens.

Is there even such as thing as live anymore since it's all digital?
It's just a very recent recording.
