Choose the SABC programme and viewing country together. SABC+ distinguishes its South African video catalogue from worldwide access to named services including SABC News, SABC Lehae, radio and podcasts. A working news stream abroad therefore does not establish access to a local drama episode.
Identify the SABC+ section
Begin with the section you actually want: a live television channel, an on-demand episode, a radio station or a podcast. These are different outputs within one platform. For family viewing, list the programme title and episode before choosing a broad South African category; an available audio item cannot satisfy a television request.
Programme geography and the viewing address
Tell the person checking availability where you will watch. A household in Johannesburg and a relative overseas can see different results for the same platform. If one specific video is unavailable, record its title, date and displayed message. Do not generalise from that item to every SABC service, or infer that changing players changes its territorial permission.
Build a South African evening list
For a weekly viewing list, preserve each programme’s South African date and add your own local viewing time separately. Specify the spoken language and whether subtitles are needed for other household members. Check the beginning of the actual episode or bulletin rather than accepting a channel tile as proof of the requested programme.
Time-zone reference locations
Africa/Johannesburg
Use the location relevant to the viewer and the event date. IANA reference locations are not a count of distinct current offsets; do not apply one fixed offset to the whole country.
