“That is one of my favourites.”

“Don't watch it - normally ;)))”

“The sound usually goes up a few decibels when the adverts come on. You are right though, there is no consistency in the sound levels from one program to another.”

“Yes but not so dramatically as it would annoy the neighbours surely?

And isn't that what remotes are for?”

“Woodtouch1, I totally agree with you. The One show music irritates me more than anything else on TV, I usually switch channels as soon as I hear it.
As for TV adverts, I find it offensive when the volume increases. It's as if someone else has suddenly taken control over my TV just so that they can brainwash me into buying their product.
Surely its time that the broadcasting authorities did something to stop this.
I also wonder if the TV makers could install some device that evens out the incoming sound levels, this would ensure that the sound output can't be varied unless the viewer does it.”

“Thanks for those kind words QKhumba, my thoughts
entirely , Forums are strange beings are they not ,
I would not have this present one any other way but
you certainly see the the other persons point of view
don't you . I think this present form of forum , together
with those who take part is such a vast difference
from the last one and such an improvement .”

Pardon? It has a different name - 'community' rather than 'forum'. What else is different about its 'form'? Or are you talking about that second forum that you can't find anymore and no one else has ever seen?”

“When something I know is due to start that I cannot stand the sound of, I press the mute button until it is over.”
