  • Two sound tracks

    From Scott@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 30 10:22:10 2022
    I was watching Wales vs England last night. As I Scotsman, I thought
    it might be interesting to subsitute the Welsh commentary (in
    English). Using the red button degraded the video to 576i. Why can't
    they use the same video stream for both and just put the audio on the
    red button service?

    Do the Freeview and/or Freesat specs require receivers to have the
    capability for that?

    I assumed audio would occupy very little space.

    However, this would explain why BBC Alba offers a choice of English
    and Gaelic commentary, given BBC Alba is SD only.

    PS I stuck with the English commentary for improved picture quality.

    Were perhaps the videos not the same. Its not unusual to have two or more systems covering a sports event.

    I thought all World Cup matches were produced by FIFA. Otherwise, why
    would China need to 'censor' the coverage?
