For Brazilian television, give the network, affiliate or station city and programme. Globo affiliate guidance shows that local live viewing can depend on location. A Globo brand label does not identify every regional bulletin, and official Globoplay behaviour should be kept separate from a supplied IPTV feed.
A local bulletin needs an affiliate or city
NSC's broadcaster guidance describes local live programming on Globoplay and the role of location. A later NSC announcement expands that live offer across Santa Catarina, so an older list of eligible cities should not be repeated as a current limit.
For a household following Santa Catarina, identify the NSC region or city and programme. Elsewhere, name the appropriate affiliate rather than asking for the whole Globo network as one feed. A viewer who has moved may want a former home city's bulletin; requested editorial region and current viewing location are separate facts.
Treat Globoplay access as its own route
If the problem occurs in Globoplay, report that app, account route and location message. If it occurs in a third-party IPTV player, report the supplied channel label. Permission to use device location in an official app does not establish which stream Hot IPTV provides.
Do not use a local-affiliate information page as evidence for football rights, a complete telenovela archive or every regional edition. For a match, give the fixture and commentary. For drama, give title, season and episode, and distinguish original Portuguese audio from captions or dubbing.
Brazil needs the viewer city as well as the feed city
The directory contains several Brazilian IANA locations, including America/Sao_Paulo and America/Manaus. Select the one appropriate to the actual viewer and date. Do not treat all Brazilian locations as one permanent offset or borrow a broadcast time from another affiliate.
- Write network, affiliate/city and programme separately.
- Add current viewing city and original broadcast date.
- Specify Portuguese audio, captions and live/replay need.
- Check the local bulletin itself during the player trial.
