Clare Newsome said:We have noticed a few glitches with the BBC's 5.1 feed over last couple of days - the centre channel took a while to kick in on opening ceremony, for instance...
Russell Finch said:When I watch either BBC Olympic channel, the sound is flagged to my amp as 5.1 but the centre and rears are almost mute. Switch the amp to stereo and it sounds almost identical. Not sure who is responsible for the 5.1 sound on bbc but it's rubbish.
Russell Finch said:As I said, almost mute. Occasionally I get a bit of crowd noise through the rears, but it's very very quiet most of the time. Hardly gives an "in the stadium" feel. I was there yesterday and the atmosphere in the stadium is way better than it sounds on TV.
Do you get anything much in your centre speaker? Virtually nothing for me, and the commentators and studio talking heads ought to be there. Having studio chat coming from left and right instead of the centre sounds very strange to me. The way Sky mix the 5.1 sound for their sports coverage sounds much much better.
Russell Finch said:Most startling is the first post saying that OBS are not giving the BBC the 5.1 feed, and that they are trying to manufacture some rear channel sound to put in their 5.1 transmissions. From what it sounds like, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that were true.
