ALF, a 1980's American sitcom about the Tanner family that takes in an alien, was the first television show to be broadcast with Dolby Surround Sound in 1986.

In order to be distributable as a surround sound project, you will need to create a Dolby Digital or DTS stream using a surround encoder. First, your multitrack program must support surround mixes. The programs that do include Apple Logic Pro, Steinberg Cubase 6, Digital Performer and Cakewalk Sonar Producer. From there, some of these programs can create a AC3 surround stream, but some others will need an external encoder, such as the Minnetonka surround encoder software.

To hook up a surround sound system in your home, first, identify the audio outputs on your TV or media player. Then, connect these outputs to the corresponding inputs on the surround sound receiver using the appropriate cables. Next, connect the speakers to the receiver, making sure to match the correct polarity. Finally, power on the system and adjust the settings to optimize the sound for your room.
The tradition began in 1932 with a radio broadcast by the King - George V. The first message broadcast by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was in 1952. They were broadcast (on TV) in sound only until 1957.
