In ORF Live, reveal the player controls, open the Austria-map icon and select your province. For an account preference, use the profile’s regional-content setting. Choose the storage method deliberately, especially when the screen is shared.
Choose the scope before changing the setting
There are two useful requests here: “show this edition now” and “make this my usual regional choice”. Decide which you mean before changing anything. A visitor borrowing the television for one regional bulletin has a different need from the person who uses it every evening.
For a one-off choice, ORF documents the Austria-map control in the live player. Reveal the controls and choose the province there. The player selection lasts until another selection or cookie deletion. For an account preference, the documented path is person icon, sign in with MediaKey, Regionale Inhalte, province, then Übernehmen.
Check the result during the regional programme
Use the province name as your reference when the regional edition starts. A familiar national programme appearing before it does not tell you whether the regional choice is correct. If two household members prefer different provinces, agree which edition you are selecting for this viewing session.
For Südtirol heute, ORF directs viewers to Tirol. This is a useful example of why the place mentioned in a programme title may not be the menu option you need. Keep the programme name and the selected province together in a note if you are helping someone repeat the choice.
Make a shared-screen preference understandable
If the setting is meant for regular use, tell other viewers what you changed and why. A short note such as “regional news: Tirol” is easier to understand than “I fixed ORF2”. If the preference later looks different, inspect the regional selection before assuming the programme itself has moved.
For an unresolved problem, keep a small record: the selected province, programme title, whether you used the player or account setting, and which screen showed the unexpected edition. Those details describe the decision that failed and give official support a useful starting point. Avoid repeatedly changing unrelated television settings while the regional selection is still uncertain.
