Problems resulting from better quality, rather than problem resulting from worse quality. You can always dumb down the high quality system some. I much prefer the audio from ATSC than the MTS from analog, both fed to a separate audio system cum subwoof.
The problems with live audio show up much worse in local HD. The CH 6 news staff all sound distorted and clipped without any headroom in the signal, like the VU meter [if they even have such a beast anymore] is being slammed into the end stop. Can they even hear this? Is anybody in engineering even listening?
