TV Adverts
As from the 7th July T.V. ads are going to have to keep here sound to normal leavels. At the moment when adverts come during or in between programs the sound goes up about 10 decibels and its been annoying me for years, anyway oftel have outlawed the practice thank goodness

they do it so that you can still hear the adverts when you go to make your coffee or take a pee

Re: TV Adverts
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.
