Ice hockey in Switzerland is partially promotion and relegation-based. The top level is the National League, which is divided in two: the National League A, which counts 12 teams, and the National League B, also with 12 teams. Promotion and relegation exists between these two levels. Below the National League comes the Regio League. There are four of these, numbered 1 to 4. The 1.Liga is divided into three regional groups, Ostschweiz, Zentralschweiz and Suisse Romande; all the leagues below are also subdivided into groups, all of which falling into one of the three regions of the 1.Liga. Here is a schema that illustrates the organization of Swiss hockey:

Lost is broadcast in Switzerland.
Since Switzerland has 4 official languages (German, French, Italian and Rhaeto-romanic), there are different networks that air Lost in different languages at different times. Rhaeto-romanic is only spoken by about 10'000 people and therefore there is no Rhaeto-romanic TV-Station.

Because of Swiss advertising laws, TV series like Lost are not interrupted by advert breaks. All episodes of Lost were presented in co-channel sound, making it possible for viewers to choose between German or English language. SF2 does not yet transmit a HDTV signal, due to technical difficulties (All episodes air in 16:9/Letterbox).
Swiss users can also receive German channels, making it possible to view episodes with advert breaks. Due to the higher prices for shows in German (compared to e.g. French), SF2 can only present episodes at the same time or delayed comparative to German networks.
