Bulgaria television and streaming guide

Bulgarian National Television’s programme grid and live portal give you the names of the services you are comparing. Keep the Cyrillic title, channel and date together.

Find the channel beside the title

Open the BNT programme grid and choose the channel that matches what you were told to watch. Search for the title in Cyrillic. A label such as ‘BNT’ gives you too little detail to verify a time, because the grid is organised by service. If a player uses a shortened label, find the corresponding number in the official grid before saving the channel.

Use a second programme to test a clock mismatch

Pick two successive titles in the official schedule for the same day. Compare them with the TV guide and note the exact offset for both. If only one BNT service shows the wrong programme, recheck the channel label before making an adjustment that affects every service. If the two titles are shifted together, check that the television and guide display the same local time.

Check the operator when comparing similarly named services

Bulgaria’s Council for Electronic Media maintains a public linear-services register. Use it to verify the official name or operator where useful. For the viewing test itself, use the broadcaster’s own portal and the show’s published schedule. Include the service label, date and title when asking whether an app should display a particular edition.
