Abstract
A viewer viewing audio-visual content on an audio-visual display () advantageously can receive information as to potential sources of alternative audio (-) via a set-top box (). The set-top-box collects metadata identifying the audio-visual content viewed by the viewer and provides that metadata to a database () that searches for and identifies to the set-top-box the source(s) of alternative audio-if any. The set-top box will alert the viewer who can then select one of the identified sources of alternative audio in place of the audio embedded in the currently viewed audio-visual content.
