I thought it was triggered by audio volume, because ads are typically louder and more consistently loud. Maybe it was a combination. Not so sure how well it ever worked, though.

I remember from my childhood seeing an icon in the screen corner indicating adverts were about to start. This was on terrestrial British TV.
