Language changed on Highway to Heaven

Was watching Highway to Heaven this morning. Got done viewing season one episode 2. Started watching episode 3 and it was all Spanish, so were the episodes after that. What happened? Other shows are fine so far, but this came out of no where. Need some help with this.

Re: Language changed on Highway to Heaven

@Celeste56-

What channel are you using to watch Highway to Heaven?

Some programs contain multiple audio tracks that can be selected, such as different languages or verbal action descriptions for the visually impaired.

The Roku default method of accessing your choice of audio track is to press the * key on your Roku remote while viewing the program and examining the options presented. 

But more and more channels are not using the Roku default but substituting their own method of access -- I'm guessing this is so they will have consistent controls with versions of their app running on platforms other than Roku.  Often these options are accessed by pressing the up and/or down cursor control keys while viewing the program to pop the channel's own control options on the screen.

Re: Language changed on Highway to Heaven

@makaiguy I logged on to say this but @Celeste56 beat me to it.  Was going to watch S2 E18 "To Bind the Wounds" on The Roku Channel but could not b/c language was in Spanish.  I pressed "*" and there was only one language available called "default".  

@makaiguy Could you or someone pls look into this?  

@Celeste56 FYI, full episodes of Highway to Heaven are available for free on Youtube and Filmrise apps.  Just download & install the apps on your Roku player if you don't have them already and you can continue watching for free while they work on this problem.

Now that I know you're trying to view on The Roku Channel, I can confirm I get the same thing.  Both audio track and closed captioning are in Spanish with no alternatives offered.

As my signature says, I'm not a Roku employee, so that's about all I can do, other than bringing this to the attention of Roku employees @RokuDanny-R & @RokuKariza-D

@makaiguy 

Respectfully, your reply does not help. 
 
This is a production that is available on The Roku Channel. 

There is no option to revert this show back to English. And really, why would one even need to do that if they were originally viewing it in English? 

We are experiencing the same problem. I have attempted updates and a reset but to no avail. 

What is weird is that all other shows on the Roku channel are broadcast in English, just not this one. 

Are there any updates on this or do I need to call the dreaded “tech support”?

@Mike222 To be fair, he did @ two Roku employees.  That was helpful.  Yes?
