Football on Over the Air Free channels
Football on Over the Air Free channels
Hi,
Being frugal, I disconnected my cable and got the over the Air free channel MOHU antenna. I get free HD channels which also show Sunday Football games.
However, whenever football comes the commentary switches to Spanish. If ad comes, it is in English and also the Half time report also comes in English. Spanish comes as the commentary only. I checked all my language settings and it has Eng everywhere.
Anyone has any idea, why commentary switches to Spanish in Football and what can be done to avoid this. If it helps, I live in bay area.
Thanks,
JR

Re: Football on Over the Air Free channels
Is it happening only on one station, or all of them? Typically a second language is fed over a station's "SAP" (Second Audio Program) audio stream; it is originated by the network program provider and passed through by the station. It is most likely a mix-set setting in your TV. (If it was affecting all the station's viewers, you can trust me when I say that they would be hearing about it. )FB01 wrote:Hi,

Re: Football on Over the Air Free channels
It is happening on the channels whenever Football comes. Typically on a Sunday, I have 2 channels which shows football and it happens during football only. Sometimes, one of the channel has English commentary but it is very random.smartinwate wrote:Is it happening only on one station, or all of them?

Is there something I can do in my TV setting to hear commentary in English only?
Thanks

¿Qué canal de televisión está viendo Ud. cuando esto sucede? si está viendo la principal filial de la CBS o Fox y el comentario es en Espanol, la configuración del televisor esta usando "SAP".

I wouldn't be cheap. Ultimately whether you spend $1500 dollars a year on cable or not, it won't matter. Problem solved.

I used google translate for that because I am watching football right now and I am bored:FB01 wrote:dailybagel wrote:¿Qué canal de televisión está viendo Ud. cuando esto sucede? si está viendo la principal filial de la CBS o Fox y el comentario es en Espanol, la configuración del televisor esta usando "SAP".[/quote

Edited to add: I'm oddly proud of myself for translating that even though I cheated.

Re: Football on Over the Air Free channels
I can also use google translate but it is rude to post in a different language on a forum where there is one common language. If everybody starts doing that, no one will visit the forum.pennstater2005 wrote:I used google translate for that because I am watching football right now and I am bored:FB01 wrote:dailybagel wrote:¿Qué canal de televisión está viendo Ud. cuando esto sucede? si está viendo la principal filial de la CBS o Fox y el comentario es en Espanol, la configuración del televisor esta usando "SAP".[/quote

Re: Football on Over the Air Free channels
On my HDTV, a Samsung, there are at least 3 places in the menus where some sort of "Language" setting pops up. There is a language setting for the menus themselves and then there are two distinct setting in the "Audio" sub-menu. There is one setting for "Preferred Language" and there is another setting for "Multi-Track Sound" (mono-stereo-SAP). I would bet that your "Multi-Track Sound" setting needs to changed from "SAP" to "mono" or "stereo", depending on your preference. I don't know how "Preferred Language" might interact or override with the other settings.
If you don't have your paper user manual for your TV brand you can probably find one online.
