Unfortunately, broadcast sound quality is an on-going issue. It is not one easy to remedy, because the problems arise after the signal leaves Speed TOC in LA. Our signal, as you know, is thoroughly checked and monitored as it is sent to both LA and Charlotte. The cable and satellite companies, as well as local distributors (hotels & private MATV systems etc.), are the most likely culprits, though your home systems can do many things to distort the audio and video as well. It can be as simple as a switch setting, bad system wiring, or incorrectly adjusted receivers and monitors.

Until surround-sound systems and High-Definition become more common, or a new way to distribute these signals becomes foolproof, this issue will be on-going. Just as the early days of home stereo took time to perfect, HD, 5.1 and 7.1 audio face the same issues.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.
