Recently bought appletv in Switzerland and found no Movies available in English! Even in the "Movies in English" section, they are all in French!! HOw can this be resolved?

Think there are two problems:

1. iTunes Store in Switzerland appears in general to not show english speaking Movies - I have seen even Swiss people screaming in forums about this!! @ AppleTVSupport - you need to resolve this quickly or risk losing your strong Swiss customer base for AppleTV

2. There is a bug with AppleTV, as in teh specific "English Speakiong movies" section, they are all in French

Unfortunately, i think the only way to get round it is to create an iTunes account in the US or UK (US is the cheaper option).....really sad that Apple can't get this very simple thing working.

Thank you for finally giving a concrete answer. I would contact iTunes, everyone who is experiencing it should so they can figure out what is happening their end

No, it is a user forum. You are not addressing Apple in any way here

- what they mean by " movies in English" is: movies that can watched in English IN ADDITION to the " dubbed" main language.

- All what you need to do when the movie starts playing in French " or German, is to press the central or the up bottom of your apple tv remote control ( if my memory serves me well ), then a new screen will appear with the option to change the language. I think that is the step you are missing.

- All the movies previews are played in the " dubbed French or German version" , EVEN if the second English language is available.

- On the other hand, the few good or new movies in the Swiss iTunes store do not have English, and considering how much more we pay for apple products in Swistzerland. The limited selection is a true scandal.

I think you have figured it out already, but to get another country's store without a credit card from that country, you ll need to buy an American iTunes gift card ( many online suppliers are available ), be warned though, if you do so you might be violating terms of service ( apple can verify that your using a Swiss IP to access an American store and the american account might be suspended ).
