has there ever been any research done on a system that would provide  
automatic adjustment of TV receiver color/brightness/contrast based on a
duplex data channel between broadcaster and the receiver?  The home TV
would have a built-in probe or sensor for ambient light and tube/LCD  
condition,
and after the broadcaster received this data the TV would be  
automatically adjusted (quickly) to match a reference.  This  
automatic feature could perhaps be engaged and disengaged..
