The easy solution would be to delay the TV signal by as much. This is only a problem during the world cup, and only because your neighbors will yell goal before you can see it. Delay artificially the TV and the problem is gone.

The problem is just flipped. Now internet users will spoil it for cable users.

Good luck getting the cable companies to agree to a delayed signal.

The delay isn't fixed though, it's dynamic and can drift.
