I know we haven't heard much from Outlaw on this, but I sure hope they add dolby volume or have the capability to add it at a later date. Didn't think it would be a big deal, but with more HD channels coming through I find myself using the ht system more and the commercials are murder on my ears.

I agree, but I think my wife would appreciate it more - and in turn I would because of that. The little she does watch TV she adjusts the volume down during the first commercial, but then never wants to adjust it back up when a show is back on. Drives me nuts, cause if I do turn it back up, I hear her frustration the second the next commercial break starts - never fails.

She constantly tells me how annoying the commercials are. She usually reads while I numb and dumb my brain, so it effects her quite a bit. I turn it down as well during the commercials and it's a pita.

Turn it down during commercials? What else is the mute button for?? (Yes, there are other uses, but silencing commercials is sure #1 on my mute-uses list.) Of course I can fast-forward over them on recordings of shows from my cable box, but what a pity it is that no boxes offer commercial skip any more; it was on lots of VCRs.
Anyway, just use the mute.

I take it you guys don't have the same problem with the wife/girlfriend when watching tv. Yes, the mute button is logical, but that is not necesarily the solution to this problem.
I do use it (or turn it down), but like I said, that first bit of sound from the commercial is what is irritating - maybe not as much to me, but to my wife. Unless you are there with your hand on the mute button.......
