Hi,

Installed the patch, and yes Eurosport seems to put one language on the
right channel and another on the left. Now I have the ability to choose
between swedish/danish and finnish/norwegian ......

Is this taken care of through the "standard" decoders, like the one Canal
Digital provide when you sign up for their service? I cant remember having
this problem before.
