The already is a law on the books about TV commercial volume. Its probably too weak and is an old law.

I have Comcast cable and the commercial volume is acceptable and it not louder than the TV shows. I NEVER have to adjust the volume.

But my sister has dish network and OMG. You have to hold on to the remote and turn the volume waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy down when the commercials come on. If you don't, you risk damaging your hearing. Its terrible.

Why is it a problem on dish TV and NOT a problem on my "wired" cable service?

If I remember correctly, they used to sell TV's with a "constant volume" feature that eliminated this problem. I wonder if they still make that option on any TV's?
