| | TV films dual channel audio
There are very few Swiss or German senders that will have the option English for English films. Actually I can only name one - SRF2. Can't understand why they don't all offer dual channels. Is it a cost factor or what?

Follow up question: does Sky allow the user to select the soundtrack? Thinking of them for the football - but I'd take English over German commentary for the EPL any day.

I was once told that TV stations had to pay royalties twice - once for each language. Hence that few programmes in two - plus of course most of the viewers don't understand English...

Tom | | | | | But not English. SRF offers English. The others offer Italian or French. Name the ones offering English.

Particularly on the second channels there's quite a lot of US and UK stuff, notably many long-running TV series from both the US and UK, with the original language option.

I rarely look at them for TV and got confused with their radio stations.

And like Tom said, there are some other country channels that do the same.
France: NRJ, TMC...
Italy: Italia Uno, NatGeo channels, IRIS, Paramount, ...
