Sadly, if I want to watch most broadcast TV, Sky is the only option without buying even more stuff/subscriptions to receive/play. Actually have a simple soundbar which I can set up to make dialogue (almost) decipherable. Have considered doing the AV amp thing but Mrs T would object to all the boxes and wires and I would also need to put a graphic equalizer in the system. Could end up very expensive and would probably stop other functions working too.
