Television as source component


Most modern TVs have a line level source output. I am running my basic Toshiba set into my two-channel system with more or less satisfying results (depending in large part upon braodcast quality, of course), but I'm curious.

Has anyone ever undertaken to analyze the quality of various TV sets as stereo source components? Are there any brands/models that are truly superior?

instead of use TV as a source component I use
Cable TV box audio outputs connected to my pre amplifier.
I use RCA cable.My prefered cable for this purpose isOxyfuel inter connects solad on internet ebay for about 70 dollars.
The cable TV or satellite box got few settings
Compression.;No need to use it as it restricts the dynamic range
Set the cable tv box to optimal stereo level.
I nee no advantage in using matrix stereo.
The cable TV box is few years old.I cleaned the RCA jacks with De oxand it effectively removed the muck and oxidation.
