Broadcast TV audio issues

[BillR mastering]

I am hearing the MP3 "squiggly" sound in the background of the programs as of late. Drives me bonkers. A swishing phasy nasty irritant. I have resorted to closed caption. Life is too short to be bombarded with this level of germ radiation. (as if the programming itself were not bad enough)

In the name of advancements, this is not a horizonal improvement, rather a backwards step of the worst order.

To remind myself of what it is like to have excellent sound and picture, I inserted a VHS of old live Johnny Carson (hi-fi vhs sound) and the tube cameras of the era and the fidelity was visually smooth, clean and the sound was tremedous.
