If I got a tattoo.....

Yes indeed - if there is one thing that I wish the whole world would remember is that there are well defined relationships between analogue and digital audio levels. PLEASE - if you are (or have any influence with) a manufacturer of professional television equipment then align your A->D and D->A converters appropriately for your market, which is the case of Europe is -18dBfs for 0dBu.
I installed a new v7 Protools on Friday - wrong (set for -14dBfs), Avid still ship set for -20dBfs and countless other bits of kit come in at -24dBfs. Perhaps these people just don't understand (or can't be bothered!).
