Alternate Audio Channels

Dish network offers several channels with "Alternate Audio" feeds. This feature can be accessed through the Main or Set-Up menu. On most receivers select "System Set Up" then "Alternate Audio". This will provide a list of alternate audio tracks.
Note: Dishplayer model receivers (7100 and 7200) use "Other" in the place of "Alternate" in the set-up screen
