There are not many TV stations actually using Orbans now. And their 8585 product really doesn't meet the mark, because it doesn't even have a path for synchronizing meta-data, much less doing something audio-related and worth while with it.
About 80-some percent of the market share for any digitally-capable TV studio is now either Linear Acoustic (over 70% market share), and Dolby taking up most of the remainder.

They have over 90% market share in sports and live-event channels & shows. You may have heard one of their processors on the last 4 (soon to be 5) SuperBowls, The Grammys, etc, etc, etc...
If you tune into the SuperBowl this year, and are getting audio as an AC3 stream, try adjusting the dynamics on your receiver. They will be using the CARBON this year... and the 1st year they will be using one processor for the event AND commercials. :D Real excited to hear how that comes out.

And to be fair, I have to add the disclaimer that I've been a part of its development over the last few years. Am I a fanboy too? Yuh.
