French ARTE has two ways of broadcasting programmes in the original language, VOSTF is a programme which is broadcast with the original audio language track and with French subtitles superimposed in vision, VM is a programme which is broadcast with more than audio language track, i.e. the French dubbed audio will be on the first audio track and the English (or other language) original track will be on one of the other audio tracks, when a film or series is broadcast in VOSTF the English audio can be found by selecting French as your audio, when a film or series is broadcast in VM the English audio can be found by selecting English as your audio, some receivers only list the audio tracks as numbers in which case you will need to check all the audio tracks available for the correct audio track, there are four in total
