And No, August, this has not been done "since years" - not in real time.
This now means live in almost real time. In a German essay on the two experts and their breakthrough, the calculation time to process the video images and broadcast them is mentioned to be 40 milliseconds. Granted, that is also a delayed broadcast, but it is not delayed by minutes or seconds, but just 40 ms.

My point was how does an audience ever know for sure that a broadcast is in real time? I mean aside from the broadcasters claims of "live coverage", unless we happen to see a clock or something similar in the background we have no real ability to tell whether any footage "is live or is it Memorex".
