Inconsistent volumes on dstv channels.

[Tamagotchi]

I will check tonight, but my volume levels are not usually set that high.
So I'll set eg. mm1 to zero, skip to mm2 and then back to mm1, and see what it does.

BTW, Thanks Dave, hope it works.

It . Did . Not . Work !

That sux.
This is how it works on my silly little cheap decoder.
What model are you using?

Yes that one, the default channel volume setting.

Series channel was playing at max volume none of the other channels were. So I went into the menu and then went into the TV setup area (type in pin code 9949), and there's a menu that refers to default volume. Go in there and it'll list all the channels and u can set the volume for each one individually.

I'm recalling this from memory.

Edit: I thought this default volume menu was a new feature, I've never seen it before. Is it new?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This seems to have worked.
@Dave. I dunfortunately don't know which decoder model I have.

It was the cheapest one round-about December 2008. Paid about R400.00 for it.Silver and black detailed front.

Well the adverts are definitely louder on certain channels.

It is of course another "hidden feature" - wake up the damn sleepy head viewer so we can gather more advertising revenue.

I find that very irritating. Every time an ad starts, you gotta grab the remote and turn the volume down. Ad finishs, and you gotta grab the remote and put the volume up again. Eish!

@tamagochi : Cool

Mine is a little silver decoder, it says DSD 1110 (+2) on the front, and it definitely remembers the last volume that I left the channel on. But, I have not touched the "default" channel volume settings.

I am on that poor man's SABC + ETV only package for R200 a year. I simply cannot get decent reception here with a normal antennae.
