Audio and captions

Check the actual programme for the desired spoken language. Channel 1 branding does not establish a particular language track.

Which device and account details should you check?

  1. Use the broadcaster's own market listing for Kenya 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.
