Because the content on TV is sent out on the TV channels at all times, whether or not your particular TV is on or off.

A stream on your iPad or other device is started, when YOU start it. So even if you try to time it with someone else, going “3, 2, 1, now”, there’ll be a slight delay between the two of you clicking start. Adding on to that your internet connections are not going to have the exact same bit rates. So overall it becomes very unlikely for two streams to be perfectly synced.
