Start with the language and broadcaster
Prasar Bharati describes WAVES as an OTT service with live television and radio. Open its channel list and identify the Doordarshan or AIR service by name, language and city where applicable. For regional news, include the local programme or edition name rather than searching solely for the national broadcaster.
Check the match or event in the official schedule
For sport, start with the event and the authorised broadcaster’s current fixture listing. Compare live video, highlights and radio coverage separately. Check which route opens on your television or phone before you commit to a viewing plan.
Compare mobile and TV on the same feed
If the feed starts on your phone but fails on a TV, try an ordinary news programme on the TV before testing the match again. Record the model, app version and whether you used the same account and network. If both devices reject the same programme and play other channels, look for a programme-level message in the official service.
Broadcaster and feed references
Check the broadcaster for the current schedule, device requirements and viewing territory.
