What I find most annoying about cable (and probably satellite too) is that all the channels seem to be at different volumes.

Broadcast television is bad enough, what with commercials that'll blow your toupee off, but cable seems to be far worse, and there's really no excuse for it When the feed comes into the cable company's facilities they surely need to process it in some manner, wouldn't it be relatively simple for them to somehow even out the level of volume?

My late model Sony set has something called Steady Sound which is a miserable crock of poo as it actually somehow raises the volume of music and pulls voice levels down lower. When I bought the set I had high hopes that this feature was going to give me even volume----some other brand was advertising such a thing a little while ago (Philips?)
