BBC HD 5.1 Audio Mix

On the Eurovision Semi Finals the mix was abysmal, weak,feeble, muffled,dead music sound level and disproportionatley loud vocals,just horrible.

Obviously this channel is a regular offender, but is there any way round this so i can watch the final in hd with music with more oomph? or must i be forced to watch in sd? Any suggestions

Unnaceptable from the BBC,Twitter flooded with complaints and yes i've sent 'em one as well!

They were discussing this very thing on Richard Bacon's show the other day but mostly because people don't want to listen to Graham Norton and people complained that you can no longer just have radio sound on and use the TV and have both in sync due to the differering transmission methods nowadays. They suggested putting Radio 2 on your music system, and use the pause function on your STB until you get the BBC One HD broadcast in sync with the radio, if it dosen't work don't blame me as I would rather pull my own teeth out than watch Eurovision.

I cant see how it would as isn't the TV broadcast behind the radio? My DAB set has a pause feature, that might work.

Thanks for the feedback!

Last year the sound for the final was fine,so i think i'll go with it tonight with fingers crossed,and go for sd as a last resort.
