Botswana IPTV: Btv News, Btv 1 and Btv 2

Keep the Botswana identity and channel number

The Botswana Press Agency's 2022 launch report describes Btv 1 and Btv 2 as different services, with entertainment and information/education roles respectively. Later government reporting also names Btv News. These references support separate requests, not a promise that every programme is present on any BTV-labelled stream.

For a local news bulletin, identify the bulletin rather than selecting an entertainment service by logo. For an educational broadcast, name the subject or programme. An old Botswana TV label in a player may hide the distinction, so ask what service the current stream represents.

Setswana and English need a programme check

Write Setswana or English explicitly, alongside any subtitle requirement. A bilingual household may need different programmes for different relatives. The player interface can be English while the current programme is in Setswana, or the reverse; check the content itself.

For school or public-information viewing, verify the whole segment and readable on-screen material. A news story about a lesson is different from the lesson. For a dated replay, add the original broadcast date and subject rather than assuming a previous guide entry opens as a recording.

Make a Gaborone reference useful

Africa/Gaborone is the directory's representative location. For viewers abroad, retain Botswana's programme date/time and the current viewing city. The desired locality should also be stated if a district event is the reason for watching.

1. Choose News,1 or 2 and write Botswana with the label.
2. Add the programme, subject or district event.
3. Specify spoken language and live/replay requirement.
4. Test that item on the installed player during the trial.
