..and of course this will be one of those television adverts that play twice as loud as the volume of your normal TV programming..

Hey does that happen where you live (England I believe). ?
I have been cursing the Israeli TV cable Company for ages since I thought it was only here that they took liberties.
It drives us crazy. My wife suffers from tinnitus and I am getting a bit hard of hearing. So I turn the volume up for most programs and then those that carry commercials add hundreds of decibels and she goes bananas so I turn it to ½ volume --- and after a while the program restarts and I can't hear the speech --- so I turn it uip again ------- and so on !
As far as possible, we record programs so that we can skip over the commercials ENTIRELY which on occasion last 10 minutes and drive us nuts ! Seems they are shooting themselves in the foot ?!?

Guess they want to make sure they have our attention. >
And then there are certain stations that are just lower than others and seems like Im always having to adjust the volume. :-/

Status : Offline | When we watch a DVD the volume is often in the 70s but when we put it onto to ordinary television, we have to bring it down to the 30s. I don't notice any increase in volume for advertisements though although sometimes the contrast between dialogue and jingles is a bit much.

You usually have a window of freedom from about 21/2 minutes to 4 1/4 minutes to do your thing.

I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean---and I'm not being coy. Moonlighting as what for one thing?
Mark, Black Sheep is one excellent trashy movie. Highly recommended. 8-)

However.... I was looking through some very old threads here yesterday and I came across a face in a crowd that reminded me of you... there, hiding behind the glass....

Our govt is rolling out mass innoculations in September and I am going to join the queue.
Yes , better batten down the hatches . Avian flu is spreading . How big is Asia anyways ?
