I did that for awhile, mute or even switching to music.

After awhile, I started noticing that switching the audio during
commercials requires WATCHING the commercials very carefully, with
your finger on the button for quick response (to keep from missing the
show).

Now I mute the audio just during some of the worst commercials.

Definitely. The stations deny this and say it is because of the sort
of speech in the commercials, but I don't believe them. They say the
rapid fire, continuous talking is within the limits of whatever they
use for automatic volume control.

I can't use mute because I'm usually reading the paper or looking at
what I'm repairing so I don't know when the show starts again and I
miss part.

Froggy, or whatever that company is, Leapfrog! used to sell something
to regulate volume. I think it only worked between a tuner and a
separte sound system, but it doesn't matter becaues I can't find one
for sale anyhow.

What I would like is like they have car seats that remember where they
go for 2 different people. I'd like a tv that was easy to set a low
valume and a high volume and easy to switch between the two. I
wishthey would work on that instead of high resolution, or whatever it
is.

And even if this is true, they had vcrs that could tell when
commercials start and end. They should LOWER the volume when
commercials start, to make up for the techniques the commericial
makers use to make them louder.

I'm trying to fall asleep listening to the tv and the commercials wake
me up. Plus sometimes a Tada at the end or start of the movie
segment. I end up turning off the tv and trying to find something
decent on the radio.
