Ah yes, the original Forsyte Saga with good performances from Eric Porter and Nyree Dawn Porter, and a memorable one from Susan Hampshire as Fleur; perhaps with even more of the chienne when translated into French. We have the DVD in our yet-to-be-watched stack of "let's see how well they travelled" older dramas. A few years back we looked at "The Lotus Eaters" and "Who Pays the Ferryman", and both remained as good as I remembered them.
Anyway, I digress. Back to 819 lines; 7 MHz receiver vision bandwidth for the System E receivers does seem a bit rude. Horizontal definition would be no better than 625 with 5.5 MHz.
