Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I cannot find a suitable topic.

In recent months, Ive been watching movies on live Tv (or TV+1 channels)

I've watched movies where there is a "running commentary" describing the scenes. How do I turn this feature off? I just want to watch the movie without the commentary. I've seen this/these movies before & do not recall any commentary before.

Ive got a DISHTV T2200

EDIt - im not running my tv from the recorder (dish tv)

My main Tv it Viera 32DS500_Series

Ive looked there for voice options top but cant find any to turn off the commentary

It sounds like you have audio description enabled. Look for a setting to turn it off.

You have either subtitles on or teletext or if it is audio, I think this is your manual for your tv.

Agree. This will be an Audio Description setting that needs to be changed.

If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.

I have the same problem with my SmartVu+ but only on one channel, Duke. When I'm watching Duke, I have to turn Audio Discription ON, to remove the commentary, and then turn it OFF, when watching everything else.

It's annoying but we don't watch much stuff on Duke.

My very old Viera doesn’t seem to have such settings, but my dish tv has the following that could be similar to your box.

Menu> Audio Descriptions. Should be Off.

Or

Settings>Device Preferences>Accessibility> There you have Text to Speech, or Talkback, both should be off.

Don’t forget the famous unplug wait 30 seconds then plug devices back in fix for many glitches.

Some channels broadcast multiple audio streams that are mislabled as different languages. Make sure English is seleceted as the audio track.
