Audio Description is disabled in my setup. But strangely the recording of Attenborough's first in his latest series has the AD voice-over.

Can anyone find a logical explanation for the glitch?

Which channel was the recording made from ? What are you using to listen to the sound. A TV or an AV amp. What connection is used for the sound, hdmi scart s/pdif ?

BBC2; standard TV speakers (Panasonic TX32LXD); HDMI from Foxsat+ to TV

I got round to watching part 2 and this has AD too. As I said no other recorded program has it.

Makes me think it could have been a fault at the BBC end, but then knowing DS seems a little strange that no one reported the same problem.

Unless DSers aren't sophisticated or old enough to watch such programs

Now where did I putmy hat and coat ?

Did not record the programme. What happens if on replay you switch audio tracks by pressing the audio button on the remote

Tried the audio button and it was set to AD. Switched to English and voice disappeared.

Since the Foxsat's main settings have AD disabled, I am still confused how the AD got on the recordings in the first place.

It will record both sound channels always AFAIK.

Dispite the audio description being disabled the broadcast is a transport stream and as such includes all data.

Perhaps the gray cells are thickening but how come that, if I have neither turned AD on in settings nor on the remote some one program plays the AD let alone both in a series?

At a guess, the two sound tracks were reversed by the broadcaster with track 1 beiong audio described. A bit like having to select Welsh as the default to get English on the welsh channels

Graham, I like that as an idea; it's one that does not make me seem stupid or senile.
