Car stereos have this now because of phones etc......there used to be buttons called LOUD on some devices....
A button that went; Set current volume to a variable (originalVOL) If Vol !='30' set current volume to '30' else set current volume to 'originalVOL' For all the people that missed the exact concept -----Original Message----- From: Karsten Jeppesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 26 May 2005 2:58 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] WHISH-LIST: what I always wanted.

Unfortunately Myth can not retroactively record a channel. So when you flip to a channel and - hey there is a good movie - then there is no 5 minutes to fast forward. So when the commercials come on with their +15% volume then it would be nice to tone them that far down that you can barely hear them. NOT MUTE. Why would I watch the screen, when I can go making coffee, find the book for later whatever. I do have ears too and they will tell me when the commercial segment is over. I realize I could pause and then come back after 30 mins, but what would I do for 30 mins? I mean except for reading and answering emails? Watching TV has a social function as well when you are married. OOh - thats what I could use the 30 mins for - hmm. Anyway - I still think a preset volume - back to normal volume would be a nice thing.
