I'd noticed this but didn't realise it was done on purpose either.
It's very annoying and has me scrabbling about for the remote to turn the sound down every time.
Then when the programme comes back on it's too quiet so I'm scrabbling round for the thing again to turn it back up!
Good old oftel.
Roll on July 7th.
