  • In the Digital TVsection, click on the TV Options button.

    • Mon compte > paramètres > réglage du système > langue du menu
    • Mijn account > instellingen > systeeminstellingen > taal
  • Select the desired language (Dutch or French) and press OK.
  • Navigate to the right and select valider or bevestigen (depending on the language). The changes are immediate.
