PPM6 is the maximum allowed. Although in theory it should correspond to -10dBFS, due to the nature's meter, peaks do go higher on a digital peak meter indeed. And then the sound ops typically don't make a fuss about an overshoot or two past PPM6, though according to the legend, the transmitter doesn't like it. PPMulator+ should help. Some channels have a minimum sound level requirement too.
TV sound - gotta love it...
