That depends, I clearly remember spending a lot of time getting color registration
right in an Ikegami...
Some others did not get it so right...
Not to mention bending, scalloping, and skewing in quadruplex VTR, and all the other
problems, noise, dropouts.
I'd say broadcast standards have improved (as to what is actually transmitted).
Not the programs themselves though.

You will have to face it, soon the 500$ camera will exceed broadcast specs :-)

Yes.
Those often make better programs then BBC, BBC is brain dead politically, programmatically,
and from an amusement POV, I stopped watching it.
Technically it was not very good either last time I looked.
