Do they still do that in the UK? I know that it's for real; it's in the broadcasting acts. But I thought they stopped doing it a few years ago because it's not allowed in Europe etc.
As for a solution - you must be joking! It's a conspiracy between the advertisers, broadcasters and TV manufactures. They won’t allow the viewers to edit out the advertisements – the whole economic basis of broadcasting would collapse!

CP and CB.... firstly yep, it still happens in the UK....
Secondly, yep, I have seen explanations about the compression of sound levels meaning that adverts / announcements are 'louder'... but surely there must be a way to flatten this out...?
One minute you are watching a program at normal volume, the next minute, you are assaulted by sound as an advert or announcement takes over...
And, it has to be said, I do not remember this sort of problem when I was younger (cue comments about senility etc ..
)

Adverts use compression technology to enhance the volume of the advert.
What you need is a limiter - a piece of hardware that limits/compresses the volume of the sound to a certain level. I use it when playing guitar/bass to keep a consistant sound level to compensate for poor playing ability...

Actually, that should be the opposite, at least for me, volume is never enough (at least when watching movies or playing fifa). I do expect to be extradited for acoustic pollution and a full page on Sun on how immigrants from EU are devasting the peacefulness of this country with that.

Even better - there's **** all on telly. Just download the good bits of bittorrent and use Front Row or the windows equivalent: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/frontrow.html

I must admit to riding my eMule quite hard ( 
) now I have an unmetered, all ports open 19 Mb connection (tweaked 16Mb using DMT tool on a Speedtough 585).
Most of the TV is watch is either movies - especially now Film Four is free - or the History Channel, news. Thinking about turning one of my pcs into a media center.
