Default BBC live delay ?

We were both watching PM question time tonight (wed)
Me on my desktop and she on laptop.
Desktop has cable connection, laptop wifi.
The desktop was running about half minute behind the laptop.

How come, I would have thought both would be running at the same time.

Is this normal?

Now to take this a stage further(which I wont) could I argue I dont
need a licence to watch it on my desktop as it is not accurately live
but running about half minute later?

Try listening to cricket commentary on a) phone over internet, b) DAB
radio, c ) analogue radio.
It's like listening to 3 different games. They are about 3 deliveries
apart.
