Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"

Big John - Well, I'd consider widescreen and surround sound to be major innovations. I'd also consider 3D, Panavision, et al, to be innovative even if they didn't take off.
I would suggest that if Thompson and Bordwell managed to miss that, they've written nothing worth the paper it's written on. You should probably return the book and demand your money back.
Widescreen in particular was specifically introduced to counter TV. Ultimately it wasn't innovation that fixed the process, but quality, and that's what didn't happen until Lucas and Spielberg introduced High Concept in the 1970s, as I pointed out above.
