Pray tell what 'technical' restrictions apply to TV compared to the
corporates you obviously know about?

I did just that in my previous post, so that you would
not need to ask. Perhaps they are better classed as
artistic restrictions, in the "No point in doing that,
because no-one is gonna hear it on TV" class:-)

I don't understand that! I'm sure I'm not alone in using my "TV" [1] merely
as a monitor off my Nicam stereo "hi-fi" VCR, and running the sound through a
Dolby Prologic (or quality stereo, depending on the room) amp [2], as I have
for at least the last 15 years ... I haven't even bothered with 5.1+ etc. yet,
but I certainly appreciate good sound on programmes where it exists!

The previous post:

Few dubbing jobs are "top movies". Dolby surround mixes for
corporate programmes are fun, but TV has both technical
and budget restrictions. (Before you ask - there is little point
building up complex and subtle layers of ambience and low
level FX which no one will ever hear from TV)

[1] I don't even have a working "TV". Only monitors.
[2] Amplifier, not just some cheap "receiver"!
