Bulgarian National Television displays BNT 1, BNT 2, BNT 3 and BNT 4 as distinct guide selections. The programme name alone does not tell you which service carries it.

Check the chosen BNT channel tab and dated row. For a language-specific bulletin, retain the title of that individual bulletin in the report.

Which device and account details should you check?

  1. Use the broadcaster's own market listing for Bulgaria when checking a current app, subscription or rights question.
  2. Look up the app publisher and exact TV or box model in the local device store. Check live versus replay features and separate app charges.
  3. For a schedule issue, save the exact channel ID, programme title, local date and time zone without sharing account or playlist details.
