Hi Ron,
Yes, I've noticed that too. It can get kind of funny too when something really exciting happens and you get very excited and the folks watching the tube
can't figure out why you're so excited.

Hi Don and Walt,
I too have given up trying to listen to the TV audio when with a bunch of
people. I put an earphone in my ear and listen to the radio play-by-play.
This used to work out quite nicely--except that now--due to HD TV and
satellite processing, I am actually hearing the play-by-play via radio about
2 seconds before the sighted people in the room are seeing it. So I
actually am a bit better informed than the sighties--can you beat that one?
<laugh>!

Walt,
I totally agree. Around here on the morning news they often play sound
bites of the highlights from the previous nights games. Quite often these
are taken
from the tv broadcasts. Most of the time you can't even hear a word they're
saying because of the crowd noise.
When my dad was alive we often enjoyed watching the football games together
on a Sunday afternoon. I finally completely gave up trying to follow the
game on tv and use a radio with an earphone. I got some interference from
the tv, but it was still much better than trying to figure out what was
really going
on from the tube.

I would _never_ try to catch sports on television, anyway. I'd rather go
without than try to fill in the blanks that the so-called play-by-play
announcer leaves because describing something to somebody who is using a
visual medium is...well, pretty stupid, if you think about it. It's either
radio or nothing for me where all sports are concerned and that's been my
rule for a lot of years. In addition to the lack of any meaningful
description, television sound engineers could take a lot of lessons from
radio sports broadcast engineers where crowd noise is concerned. I've never
yet tried to listen to any sporting event on radio where the crowd totally
blotted out the announcers, but this happens all the time on television.
It's just not worth all the hassle.
