No, its not your ears... dstv ads are loud. i really dont know why, maybe they want to be certain we hear the ads... Its silly though and so not first class entertainment... mmm, maybe some technician if they still here in SA can tell us why! its un necessary really... its a disturbance to others not watching the same channel... :sick:

Its that the advertising companies record their ads super loud and give it to mnet etc like that and apparently changing the sound down is not a simple task
 
Why is it that my DSTV decoder changes the sound level when changing between some channels? - sometimes the sound level decreases and other times the sound level increases, the sound level change seems to be consistently related to what is currently showing on a given channel at the time and when the program changes so does the sound level change behaviour...

Nope sorry, it isn't part of ZeeTV. It is owned by Sony Entertainment.

Ok, so it's not just my decoder - probably some OTA upgrade that messed up the sound levels between channels, BTW also only started in the last 2 months on my decoder IIRC.

Prob the firmware upgrade that was done automatically, when you were asleep :D . A friend of mine had the same problem. But he had a older decoder. Is your decoder a new model?

It's only a matter of clicking the "Normalise audio" checkbox in Avid.
I guess that's TOO hard for MNET.

You got it 100% wrong :D

According to MC the channel will launch sometime this year on the Premium bouquet.

The only Sony Entertainment TV is the Indian one - the only other reference to Sony would be Sony Pictures - the movie company.

That don't look very Indian does it?

It also doesn't look very English to me.... All we need is another foreign language channel. And the possibility of providing an English version doesn't ring true as they would be providing the same programming as Mnet / Series.... would be nice though.

just says searching for signal...and nothing

like CNBC africa, al jazeera, and a few others...

i reset the decoder, updated software, still nothing..
