I have noticed that e-TV & eNCA sound during adverts is high lately, I have lower the volume everytime an advert is flighted and this is very irritating especially during news. Can someone just inform them to tone done or check their broadcast settings. Report Abuse

Well, they must stop buying cheap TV's.... My TV auto adjusts the volume according the what i set, just like my car, if i play track 1 and i set the volume 25 only to find out tracks 2 is louder than track 1 lets say 30 it will auto adjust to suit what i wanted initially this way i dont blow my speakers out.

The reason why they pay a hefty fee to flight the ads. Otherwise the TV Stations will lose revenue big time. Report Abuse
Instead of getting DSTV, get yourself an ADSL line and an uncapped internet connection. Then get yourself a netflix account, and stream all the movies and TV shows you could watch.
Or go to eztv.it and download all the TV shows yourself.
SABC 2 must also stop sqeezing video during morning live. There is nothing wrong with showing full screen video. Report Abuse

Sinudeity- I would be ashamed to admit that on national blogging!! no TV in 6 years?? Have you shaved in the last 6 years?? I just picture you (not a pretty sight), sitting in front of your computer screen, in your socks, boots and underpants, devouring a 6 year old pizza (lol), as you can see not a pretty thought/sight. Come on bruv, tidy up your act and get a new flat screen (we have touch-screens now in the UK). Oh, and shave!!! (have a good weekend!!!) (lol) Report Abuse

skwamasamabele - Hehehe. Not quite :P
You see, I have 3 flat screen TV's running off my PC, or "media centre". 2 LCD monitors for working, and one big@ss LCD screen for streaming movies and TV shows in the lounge.
TV's are obsolete, you are in fact living in the stone age. Do you go to the video store when you want to watch a movie? :P Even HD DSTV's quality is bad, compared to digital HD.
I simply browse with a remote to netflix, pick a movie, and stream at at a cost of R100 a month.

Had to go and pick up my Pricess (daughter) from school. You right we live in the stone age (lol). I was visiting Saitama (japan) the other week, and boy , oh , boy, their TVs!!!!!! you walk straight through the screen and you can change the channels by telling it, or stream anything by giving it directives!!! The world is still 10 years from that technology. But, dont worry bruv, JZ is history. (its fu*king -3 degrees over here, even my nuts have crystalised) Report Abuse
