-some DVB-S channels have more than one language, and both are played at the same time.
-opening the menu, and selecting one(or the other), does not help.
-I assume I need a codec that supports such feature ?
- which one are you using to make it work ?

Hi,
Thats the dual mono channels i guess, if you have not enabled it in MP Configuration -> Televsion -> Client, do so & save.
When playing those channels open context menu in fullscreen & select dual mono & selecy which speaker that should be on both, so when it's SweNor switch right speaker to both.
On the todo list it is that it should be "detected" & saved / channel, when that will be i dunno...

This happens only during commercials on channels like National geographic, history, Discovery.. I'm afraid if I force them to mono, then the programs will also be in mono. - I am right ?

Actually they are in mono, just 2xmono in english & then it seems ok when you listen.
But Discover (N) on CD should be in stereo...
