Identify the subject before the access route
A network name does not always identify the national or regional feed. Match the channel edition, language and programme time.
BBC One
Identify BBC One’s national and English regional editions before choosing local news or a shared viewing plan.
BBC Two
Identify BBC Two in the UK and choose a documentary, a national edition or a dated transmission.
BBC Four
Identify BBC Four, check the correct Freeview position and find a scheduled repeat or an older programme.
Make the request precise
- Name the exact subject and national or edition context.
- Use an official schedule or title page for the date, fixture, season or episode.
- Tell support the viewing country, language and intended device.
- Confirm current account-specific access during the trial rather than inferring it from artwork.
