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

Further trolling on www.linearacoustic.com revealed yet another mechanism
for "missing dialog", esp. during sports events...or with an overly aggressive
synthetic surround mix:
http://www.linearacoustic.com/sports/index.htm

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....
