What's the deal with ABC's HD feed?
I cannot believe I'm the only one seeing this. When watching ABC's HD programs (primarily news
broadcasts), some of the commercials are missing a part of the soundtrack. The background
sounds and music are there, but the primary vocal is gone. It's not my TV. I hear
the same problem in the digital audio output directly from the cable box. And if I
switch to the analog channel, the soundtrack is normal.
I've tried Googling and come up empty. It appears as though the center channel has been stripped from the 5.1 audio track. Annoying as hell, and curiously it was mostly pharmaceutical ads that were affected. Now today, it's over half the spots broadcast. Hasn't anyone else noticed this?
