It has always been the home receivers (aka TV sets) which were the weak link in the broadcast chain, especially with audio.
At some point my Dad figured out how to hook up the TV sound to his big stereo set-up. I think we were watching Mission: Impossible and you could actually hear the string bass in the opening theme - and then there was an explosion with some low-frequency sonic impact and I realized there was potential in the sound being broadcast that TVs of the time could not deliver.
