An odd thing happening to my mom's cable feed. She's got 'Basic' cable - local stations, etc., no digital subscript, hooked direct to one year old HD capable TV. Good picture @ 720p.

Sunday ball game comes on - DEN/NYJ on CBS. Everything is good - except - the announcer is in Spanish. Commercials are in English. The Ref reports penalty in English. The NFL office explanation of a penalty guy shows up, the announcer interprets to Spanish while the guy is talking. Games visuals are in English. Same thing happened with Thursday nite game, DAL/HOU (CBS).

Switch to GB/MIA (Fox), everything is normal, in English.

Cable company doesn't know why but will look into it.

How can this happen?

It happens when their servers hiccups (you picked up a extra code and it connected to your account). All they have to do is reset your signal. Just watch the next bill to make sure they didn't charge you for the extra service.

Sounds like you're on the SAP for that channel? Maybe you can try to manually switch and see if the English audio comes on..... some TV's have a dedicated SAP button on the remote. Some you just need to go into the audio settings.
