Abstract
A method for synchronizing data, via a broadcast network, which includes at least one fixed transmitter and a plurality of broadcast sites. The synchronization method uses the following acts, at at least one of the broadcast sites: obtaining a delay, referred to as an absolute delay, determined from the geographic location of the broadcast site; determining an additional delay, by subtracting the absolute delay from a fixed delay shared by the broadcast sites in the network; resetting at least one time datum or at least one portion of a data stream from the fixed transmitter, applying the additional delay to the time datum or to the portion of the data stream.
