Yes, I've noticed this too, and it seems it has actually gotten worse over the past year or two. I swear the programs seem to be getting softer and softer, so I have to crank up the volume just to hear, and then the commercials absolutely BLAST on. I hate that! It's a constant battle for me with the remote: turn it up, turn it down, turn it up, turn it down....rinse/repeat.
This is so true. The volume seems to differ from channel to channel too. I have the remote in my hand all the time.
