I'm told the volume doesn't increase really. I don't believe that.
Instead, a broadcast engineer friend of mine said it has to do with audio compression. I didn't understand his explanation.
Is there an engineer type on here could explain that?
If that compress thing is so, it should be regulated out of existence, too. The disruptive volume of some commercials is an embarrassment. Again, why do they do it? Because it works. People get mad, but they get the message and enough of them buy to make it worthwhile. If more of us would deliberately avoid the products, we could take care of the company.
Also, I don't hear this intrusive volume on commercial television, only on DirecTV. We could show our dissatisfaction to the satellite people, too.
