The late Mark Decker at the BBC didn't raise a citizen movement either,
and he really did _a lot_ of programmes in UHJ.
well, uhj is certainly a dead end if (and only if) you have hopes that
your consumers will actually re-decode it to horizontal surround.
i don't delude myself as to the probability of this happening.
what i said was: it is absolutely possible to do very high quality
productions in higher order ambisonics today, and with a bit of care in
the mixing, you will basically get a very nice stereo folddown for free.
that's where uhj is useful, and that's why i use it.
best,
