I asked about regulating the volume of televisions, not the commercials that are broadcast. Two very different things, and it points out very nicely how we have grown to just accept Congressional over-reaching into just about everything they touch.

Yes, right, you did. And no, they are the same thing.
A TV commercial is recorded at Vol 'x'. There isn't some guy in a Control room thinking "Oh, this Ad's volume gets raised by 'y', I better turn that dial now."
And in this instance I don't think its an Over-Reach by Congress. Most of the crap they pass IS, but this is clearly Interstate Commerce and its in their purview to regulate.
