IPTV and TV guide times in Switzerland

SRG SSR describes Play Suisse as a catalogue combining productions from SRF, RTS, RSI and RTR. A match in that catalogue can identify a work from another linguistic region.

Switzerland · CH

Use the local programme and station ID together. The catalogue records M6 as M6.ch in Switzerland.

SRG SSR describes Play Suisse as a catalogue combining productions from SRF, RTS, RSI and RTR. A match in that catalogue can identify a work from another linguistic region.

Record the production service and compare the programme with that service's linear listing when debugging a guide row. A Play Suisse result by itself does not establish a live slot.

Audio and captions

Specify the desired audio or subtitle language. Keep the Swiss German, French, Italian or Romansh broadcaster name where it identifies the production.

Which device and account details should you check?

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