No SAP through S3 Tivo

1230 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  jtown
I'm either getting silence or the English language feed when I select the Spanish language feed on programming that definitely has an SAP track -- in this case, the baseball playoffs, and I can hear the SAP track if I bypass the Tivo and watch through the TV directly.

I'm hitting Info, scrolling down to the Dolby symbol, and then selecting Spanish Dolby Digital -- and getting nothing. Any ideas?

It may not really be a Spanish language track. Not all of the information provided in the guide data is accurate and not all of the content is properly assigned. I've tried a couple of SAP audio selections just to see if it worked and both were mislabeled. They were clearly different than the standard audio track as the quality of the sound was different but they were both just lower quality versions of the English audio track. (I assume analog rather than the default digital.)

Try the other audio tracks if any are available. Maybe the Spanish is on one of those.

Weird. Give Tivo a call.
