Compare the right schedule and viewing route
Record whether you are watching the official international live signal or an on-demand programme. Then identify the domestic programme you expected. A live schedule and an individual episode page are different references.
If a replacement is playing, changing the device clock will not supply a programme whose rights are unavailable. Likewise, repeatedly moving the playback position cannot turn one scheduled item into another.
Rights can differ within the same broadcaster
3Cat explains that purchased productions, coproductions and formats owned by others can have geographical restrictions. The fact that one news programme is available internationally does not establish the same rights for a foreign film or every series.
A programme being made partly by 3Cat does not settle international digital distribution. Its help describes cases where a coproducer or another platform controls those rights in certain markets.
Use on-demand search to answer a different question
Search the expected programme on the official platform to see whether an authorised on-demand version is available in your location. Its presence or restriction is a title-level result. Do not assume the international live substitution predicts every on-demand item.
For a later viewing plan, save the exact episode page and read its current availability. A bookmark helps return to it but does not preserve the rights after a catalogue window changes.
Keep radio and television promises separate
The same overseas help describes Catalunya Ràdio as available worldwide without geographical restrictions. That is a specific statement about the radio service; it does not transfer to every television programme. Choose the actual radio or television route required for the event.
If the international signal appears wrong beyond an expected replacement, give 3Cat the time, viewing country, stream route and programme shown. These details allow the broadcaster to compare the intended international schedule with what you received. A report that says only the guide is wrong loses the rights and feed distinction that explains the issue.
Questions about this guide
Does an international replacement mean the device clock is wrong?
No. 3Cat describes intentional substitution for content lacking international rights.
Does worldwide radio availability establish every TV programme’s rights?
No. The radio and television availability statements have different scopes.
