I doubt anyone serious would sell TV on the market that wouldn't know
the bilingual stuff. People would return such sets back to shop.

No that's certainly not possible. Imagine the bilingual movies are
interleaved with blocks of ads in stereo. And the TV detects it and
switches automatically from lang1 to stereo and then back to lang1 (not
sure if it preserves the chosen lang but it should) when the ads end.

This is exactly what I said. The only missing thing is to find out what
channel is the lang1 transmitted in (yes, I am still at work so still no
useful information, just vague replies :-).
