[opendtv] Re: No Commentary on Fox/NASCAR Broadcast

Do you have surround speakers? Sorry if this has been covered already - I haven't been following this thread.

Further trolling on www.linearacoustic.com revealed yet another mechanism for "missing dialog", esp. during sports events...or with an overly aggressive

Several music and sports broadcasts (incl. FOX) have been using SRS Circle Surround 
encoding to synthetically "enhance" their ambience:

Which is why they sound "fake".......
The Stereo (Lt/Rt) downmix would contain an ample amount of anti- phase signals. 
Linear Acoustic claims that the synthetic surround processors in some
TVs and AV Receivers somehow gets confused and nulls out the Center channel.
But, I've never "fixed" a missing dialog problem in a Stereo program by simply switching off my AV Receiver's PL-II synthetic surround mode....so go figure....
