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!


No you are not alone. I first piped TV sound through a Hi-Fi system in the
early 1970s. In those days TV sets required extensive modification to
provide a high-quality line-level audio feed, but it was worth the effort.
