live event and generated by a commentator, the method comprising: presenting, via a commercial television display unit, the non-processed streaming video data to the commentator, the first viewer, and the second viewer, wherein a video presentation timing to the commentator may differ from the video presentation timing to at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer, and the video presentation timing to the first viewer may differ from the video presentation timing to the second viewer; generating the non-processed streaming audio data related to the live event by the commentator; transferring the non-processed streaming audio data via an Internet to the first viewer and the second viewer; providing the first viewer and the second viewer with a capability to synchronize a video presentation time of the non-processed streaming video data with an audio presentation time of the non-processed streaming audio data, wherein the first viewer can directly synchronize the non-processed streaming video data and the non-processed streaming audio data via a first time, and the second viewer can directly synchronize the non-processed streaming video data and the non-processed streaming audio data via a second time that is different from the first time, wherein the capability to synchronize comprises at least one of electronic circuitry that delays an introduction of the non-processed streaming audio data received by the first viewer and the second viewer, a software delay that delays the introduction of the non-processed streaming audio data received by the first viewer and the second viewer, and a video controlled buffer that delays an introduction of the non-processed streaming video data to the first viewer and the second viewer, wherein the non-processed streaming audio data received by the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer precedes the non-processed streaming video data received by the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer by an audio delay time, and the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer interactively increases a time delay of an audio presentation of the non-processed streaming audio data until synchronization is achieved; facilitating transmission and reception of a text message to at least two of the first viewer, the second viewer, and the commentator; and delaying the reception of the text message by an amount of time substantially equal to the audio delay time. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the commercial television display unit is capable of displaying an image based upon at least one of: a wireless electromagnetic video signal, a video signal transmitted via a cable, a video signal received via a satellite dish, and video data received via a streaming internet. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the commercial television display unit comprises a personal computer display capable of displaying an image based upon streaming data, a tablet display capable of displaying an image based upon streaming data, and a smartphone display capable of displaying an image based upon streaming data. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the video controlled buffer comprises electronic memory connected between a commercial television channel that provides the non-processed streaming video data and the commercial television display unit, thereby providing the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer with a capability to interactively delay the non-processed streaming video data to the commercial television display unit. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer is capable of interactively delaying the non-processed streaming video data to the commercial television display unit by selectively stopping and restarting a flow of the non-processed streaming video data at different times until the non-processed streaming video data and the non-processed streaming audio data are substantially synchronized. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein transferring the non-processed streaming audio data via the Internet is carried out via at least one web site to which both the commentator and the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer are logged in. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the non-processed streaming audio data is received by at least one of the commentator, the first viewer, and the second viewer by at least one of a mainframe computer, a desktop personal computer, a laptop personal computer, a tablet, and a smartphone. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the video controlled buffer comprises a software buffering program embedded in a processor that receives the non-processed streaming video data from a television channel, provides a time delay controlled by the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer, and presents delayed video data to a display unit linked to the processor. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the processor is also used to delay the audio data. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the processor is at least one of a mainframe computer, a desktop personal computer, a laptop personal computer, a tablet, and a smartphone. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the non-processed streaming video data received by the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer precedes the non-processed streaming audio data received by the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein at the least one of the first viewer and the second viewer interactively increases a time delay of a video presentation of the non-processed streaming video data until synchronization is achieved. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the non-processed streaming video data received by the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer precedes the non-processed streaming audio data received by the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer, and the at least one of the first viewer and the second viewer applies a first step in which the non-processed streaming video data is delayed sufficiently to cause the non-processed streaming audio data to precede the non-processed streaming video data. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the non-processed streaming audio data received by at the least one of the first viewer and the second viewer precedes the non-processed streaming video data
