That's an intentional thing many networks do in order to foist advertisements on us. And for the strange record, I believe I read somewhere that commercials aren't actually "louder", in terms of volume, but supposedly simply have a broader range of frequencies, so you're getting a wider sonic spectrum of waves at the same amplitude. Not sure if that's true or not...

Another thing that bugs me is the contrasting volume levels in some commercials where a commercial will be at a normal volume then the next is so loud that it is intolerable!

Those are the problems I can accept with Comcrap service. It's the loss of volume on some channels, loss of signal on others (in my case, *lots* of others) that draws the brunt of my complaints. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [scifinoir2] comcast cable signal drops?

I do get some picture freezing and pixelation every now and then, but it's usually only a second or so. I attribute that to the fact that my cable runs across the street along with power lines, and I think the wind sometimes makes it move and jack up the signal for a sec. Have you contacted the cable company? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 10:52:20 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] comcast cable signal drops? In my area signal loss happens multiple times a day now. Basically it is complete signal loss on all channels anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. It happened during the playoffs a couple of years ago and I missed the last 30 seconds of the game!!!
