In doing research in to the first words said on the surface of the various Apollo astronauts, I found there was no video of Apollo 16 and 17, at least until they had been on the surface for a while. Why is that?

For Apollo 16, there should be.
Start of EVA-1:
119:02:43 Duke: Okay. (Long Pause)
[Charlie turns the 16-mm movie camera on and we see the left side of John's suit as he makes his way down the ladder. The jett bag is lying on the ground at the north edge of the LM shadow.]

So there is only a bit of footage as seen from the window, and not really all that great. Doesn't really answer the question as to why they didn't record using the same camera position as the other Apollo missions did.

Wasn't the TV camera installed on the rover? So wouldn't be available until the rover was unpacked?
