Keep account migration simple
3Cat’s television help says an existing TV3 or Catalunya Ràdio username and password can be reused. You do not need a second account simply because the platform’s name or television app changed. Start with the established account before registering again.
If your television still shows TV3, follow the official model-specific update guidance. An available update and a missing compatible update are different outcomes. Write down the television model and app name before making an account change.
Check the television platform carefully
The help lists specific Samsung and LG generations and Google-certified Android TV equipment meeting the published version requirement. It also describes external HDMI streaming devices. A manufacturer name alone does not establish whether an older built-in app can be updated.
The country’s app-store distribution is a separate check from programme rights. The service explains that some manufacturers restrict publishing in some territories. An accessible website and an absent TV-store result can therefore coexist.
Overseas TV3 can replace restricted programmes
3Cat says an around-the-clock TV3 signal is offered internationally with replacement programming where a scheduled item lacks overseas rights. If the live programme differs from a domestic schedule, inspect the international viewing explanation before treating the guide as broken.
For on-demand viewing, availability belongs to the individual production. A working Catalan news bulletin does not prove that a purchased foreign series or every coproduction has worldwide clearance. Catalunya Ràdio has its own worldwide availability statement in the same help.
Choose accessibility options for the actual programme
3Cat publishes information about Catalan captions, audio description and other access services. Inspect the selected episode’s controls on the screen you intend to use, especially after changing between live and on-demand viewing. An option advertised at service level does not establish that every programme has every track.
For Australian viewers, search the programme in the official platform and use the available international route. If an item is restricted, record the programme, country and app rather than repeatedly resetting a password that already signs in successfully.
