I stopped watching television about two years ago. That is not to say that I don’t watch TV shows, I watch them on my computer all the time, but the fact of it is that I hate my programs being interrupted by commercials. I hate having to hold my remote to drop the sound down every time it cuts to a commercial break. A lot of stations will raise the volume for commercials in an attempt to give them more impact. Dolby Volume is a technology that aims to level the volume of the TV at all times.
When this technology will be released and how much it will cost is anyone’s guess. One would hope that it will come quickly and be cheap.

Actually, stations don’t raise the volume for commercials. What you hear is compression and the overall content of commercials (music/announcer/etc.) is all crammed into a short amount of time when compared to the normal dialog of a TV show.
