There is a simple solution to this: The limited audio capacity of the
D2Mac
system. You can configure the system as:

        2 High quality stereo channels
        4 High quality mono channels
        8 commentary quality mono channels
      ... and odd permutations.

The above is not fully valid when the service is encrypted, and since
both
Filmnet and tha CTV package (Eurosport included) provide both
Eurocrypt-M and -S
streams, this "eats" enough bandwidth NOT to allow 4 high-quality mono
channels.
This causes the odd audio configuration:
        Swedish:   HQ Mono
        Danish:    HQ Mono
        Norwegian: HQ Mono
        Finnish:   CQ Mono
      + Encryption stream

What would solve the problem? Using full DMac, of course, with double
capacity.

- OTHER CODES FOR ADULT-MATERIAL ON TV1000?

This is perfectly normal where Tv 1000 is concerned.

The station uses *two* uplink sites, one for the vast majority of its
output and a second site for the adult material.

Whenever the Tv 1000 key is changed the main site (IE the one that
carries the vast majority of Tv 1000 programming) gets changed first -
with the second site (IE the one that carries the adult programming)
being changed around a week to ten days [or so] later.

Not sure, but it shouldn't be *that* long before the situation corrects
itself anyway ...
