video stream delay software

[DeusEx]

Hey everyone!

I am trying to watch the olympics through an official stream on NBC website. The issue is that even though i have a 20 mbps connection, the stream lags (especially if I put it to 1080p or even 720p).

What i was wondering is if some type of software existed that delayed an incoming stream on purpose for lets say 5-10 seconds so that there would be no buffering or pauses in watching live video. Anyone know anything like that ?

on something like that, allow it to load for 10 or so minutes

The problem is most likely down to how much bandwidth NBC has available.
There's has to be thousands of people streaming from them.

I take it it's a live stream and you can't pause it to buffer it?
