Default Frequency suitable for TV

Well, just a question comes to my mind:
When we doing mixing for TV, what kind of frequency should we boost/roll off?
Because speakers from a tv, I believe, can't capable to distribute every frequency, so what kind of frequency should we boost/roll off to make a better TV mix?

A great mix translates across all formats IMO.
That said, if your track is extremely bass heavy its not going to have the same impact on a small speaker.

yes, that is the problem.
Some said that the mid-low and the high should be boosted up.

If you want to know how your mix sounds on a TV, set up a TV in the control room and find out. It's cheap and easy. You should never do any mixing specific to a format you can't listen back to, that's just guesswork and you'll damage the product more often than you'll save it. I was raised on the unflinching rule that any mix that will go into the wild should be listened to on "sheet"-boxes. (the DUC won't let me write "[bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep]boxes", which is an accepted industry technical term, no? )

A good mix will translate everywhere, but you have to check that yourself. There is no set recipe.
