    Hexus.tv advert volume

    Please for gods sake turn the volume of the adverts down. I have no problems watching the adverts, but the adverts are so loud that I have to lower my volume at the start of the show (because the advert is so loud). Then I need to turn it up to hear what on earth Nick is saying, then at the end of the video the advert seems to almost blow out my speakers!

    Completely mental IMO....

    Re: Hexus.tv advert volume

    It's a common advertising ploy. They do it all the time on TV. I belive the advertising standards people made a judgement on it recently saying that it has to stop.
    "Free speech includes not only the inoffensive but the irritating, the contentious, the eccentric, the heretical, the unwelcome and the provocative provided it does not tend to provoke violence. Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having."

    Guys,


    Well spotted - we are on it!

    They are new ones and we didn't tweak them like the last set.

    We will update all.


    cheers

    i swear that a while back some channels had the cunning plan of lowering their adverts volume slightly.

    Strange thing is that automatically makes me listen to them more...

    Brilliant news. I don't even mind it being a bit louder as per normal adverts but it was really rather excessive. Thanks very much hexus for listening!

    My suggestion is to attack him with a slippery fish (when he least expects it of course) - I always see people doing it on IRC, but to see it done for real would be great
