Recent advances in technology created new opportunities to enhance TV personalization, providing viewers with individualized ways to watch TV and to interact with its content. Second screen applications are promising ve- hicles to enhance the viewers' experiences, but researchers need to take into ac- count the effect that the TV delay has on viewers, in particular when watching broadcasted live events. In this paper, we propose a software-based solution to deal with TV delays. It is mainly directed for a gaming context in which the us- er has the means to control the synchronisation between the second screen ap- plication and the TV content. Taking this scenario into account, we imple- mented a cheating-detection mechanism to cope with the potential exploitation of the system by its users.
