Does anyone know if it is possible to get English commentary on any of
the FTA digital broadcasts?

Yes.

Er, thanks for the extremely limited help! Perhaps, as I have tried
in the past and failed, you could explain how?

You could watch Eurosport on 19.2 and listen to the English soundtrack
from Eurosport Biava on Hotbird. The Biava picture is encrypted but the
sound is FTA. I think these channels mostly transmit the same programme
material, but this no always the case. There can also be timing
differences. Don't know if this was what JGM had in mind though!

I think he answered the "Does anyone know" with Yes, not the
"if it is possible".

I thought all these transmissions had alternative audio, its really up o the
broadcaster whether they use them so the answer really is yes, when its
there!

Well in the case of Eurosport it is not there, and I was just making the
point that it is sometimes elsewhere!

I have a theory that the reason that it is not there is because Sky have
something in their contract for Eurosport which inhibits it from being
made available.

10/10 I answered the question which was asked rather than
making assumptions as to what the person asking the question
wanted to know, which to be honest was not at all clear.

After all, would it be reasonable to expect the BBC to carry
commentary in German on their TV services carried FTA on satellite?

Your theory of language is faulty.

No but there are many pan-European channels like Eurosport, Euronews,
etc that carry many audio channels. For example, the old analogue
Eurosport carried German, English and Dutch in the days before it encrypted.

The German and French versions of Eurosport don't appear to have any
other soundtrack but the addies are sometimes in English !!!!

The Dutch Eurosport has Dutch, English, Hungarian and Cz. soundtracks ATM.
