Default Al Jazeera footy in HD in English?

hi, had my World Cup channels switched on by du, but Al Jazeera's HD channel only seems to broadcast in Arabic. anyone know if they'll be doing English commentary for the matches they broadcast in HD?

we have normal al jaz and its in english, so would of thought it would be the same, they surely are not going to have them only in the non hd studios?

My "Menu" button includes "Language". You just toggle up or down, and press "OK" when you get to the English one.

already tried that, you have an "alternate audio" option on the du box, you can choose between Arabic and English but you only hear Arabic.

I guess probably once the actual WC matches start they will offer English as the alternate option on the HD channel. I hope so anyway, because Al Jaz's English World Cup channel looks like cr@p compared to Al Jaz Sports HD

Can you turn the sound off and listen to Five Live commentary from the BBC over the internet?
