Question of the Day: Have you ever ordered a product online and received a fake knock-off?
At least the UK Regulator gives a damn

So the complaints that advertisements really are louder does have a basis? 
Sneaky, really sneaky.

It truly is a global community, so the tricks are also passed on to us in the darkest Africa.
I could swear someone in RSA reads the UK ASA and knows they could get away with things because the regulations are weaker.

I would have gone with regulators.

What's an ad? In fact, what is live TV all about? HTPC FTW!

Why do TV Adverts sound louder than the shows they interupt
I know there was a discussion regarding this a while back, so I thought I would post this. The UK ASA has investigated... lets hope SA ASA follows in their footsteps.
EDIT: Strange... I posted a new topic and now it appears as a comment.

MythTv rocks!
btw, have you noticed how MNET has started to remove blank frames between ads to try and stop people skipping ads? If you skip one frame at a time, you will notice that they blend the last and first frames.
One of the SABC news broadcasts has also started showing an ad after the news logo.
It was merged with a thread created yesterday on the same topic.
