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!

Just been drinking coffee and re-reading your post with a colleague.

The standard of audio on TV is severely hampered by visual-based
decisions of directors and cameramen, Sound is very much the poor
relation. Anyone can hear that.

Music on live TV shows often leaves much to be desired.
Look at the drummers sitting behind plexi screens and the mics
clipped to music stands for the strings. Working under such
limiting conditions it is very difficult to get anything even
approaching good sound.
