I hadn't noticed this, until upgrading a few days ago. My tv volume is
usually around "20", last night I was having to turn the tv volume up to
"50" to get reasonable volume on TV 3 recordings. This seems a much
bigger jump than just normal variance between channels.

How do you do select the audio track? I didn't know you could do this,
and haven't seen a menu or configuration for this. I can test this
tonight and quickly determine whether it is specific to AC3.
