Find the exact broadcast edition
Write down programme title, channel, broadcast date and episode number where available. A daily edition and a weekend compilation can share branding without being the same work. Open the full item rather than a highlight or recap result.
Molotov’s official description qualifies replay availability by channel rights and describes several ways to find it. A schedule entry or search result can identify a broadcast without proving the full edition remains playable. Keep identification separate from current access.
Inspect the recording area directly
Open the account’s actual recordings and look for the completed programme. A favourite helps locate content and a reminder concerns a future event; neither should be assumed to be a stored recording. Check title, date and runtime in the saved item.
The service describes cloud recording as an eligible premium feature with channel-specific limits. Confirm that the actual programme was permitted and recorded under the account. Do not infer a successful recording from the fact that another channel or episode was recordable.
Test the saved source rather than the old replay link
If a completed recording is present, open it through the recordings area and inspect the full intended edition. Returning to an expired replay tile tests a different route and can make an existing recording appear useless. Preserve the actual source in the household’s viewing note.
Check the required language and captions on the recording. Do not promise that every channel’s rights preserve all features or unlimited retention. If the item is incomplete or absent, record that finding instead of repeatedly reusing the old replay link as evidence of a general account fault.
Plan the next broadcast deliberately
For future programmes, inspect recordability and the relevant plan before the broadcast, then confirm the completed result afterwards. If offline use matters, read the actual download eligibility separately; Molotov qualifies that by channel-group rights. Cloud storage is not automatically a local copy.
This workflow applies to the actual eligible French service and does not establish Canadian streaming or IPTV Canada inclusion. Its useful result is a known completed recording or an accurately described gap. It prevents a temporary replay window from being mistaken for an archive merely because the programme was once added to a list.
