French residence and travel eligibility
Molotov’s current terms describe an offer for French residents and qualified temporary EU/EEA use. They distinguish residence verification and payment routes. The public service description separately says the free version does not receive overseas access. These are not general Canadian viewing rights.
For a Canadian programme need, identify the exact authorized local source. For an eligible traveller, inspect the current plan and residence status before testing a hotel television. A supported device cannot by itself resolve an account that has not met the actual travel conditions.
Replay is a channel-supplied window
Molotov describes replay through the channel area, categories and search, with availability determined by channel rights. A show that aired recently is not automatically retained forever. Open the actual edition and inspect the available full programme rather than relying on a schedule entry alone.
Use broadcast date and episode number together for daily programmes. A clip or recap can remain searchable when the full edition has left. Save the correct route once found and check the required audio or captions on the actual item, not merely the programme collection.
Cloud recording is a separate plan feature
The service description attaches recording to eligible premium offers and says recordings are held in the cloud. It also qualifies channel-specific recording quotas. A reminder or favourite should not be mistaken for a completed saved programme.
If a particular broadcast matters, inspect whether recording is permitted and confirm the resulting item. Test the full recording from the account’s recording area rather than returning to the channel’s replay link. This distinguishes an actual saved copy from a temporary catch-up window with its own rights.
Offline and provider-billed portability need their own checks
Molotov says eligible recordings can be downloaded subject to channel-group rights. Do not convert cloud access into an all-device offline promise. Check the actual mobile feature, programme and expiry before relying on an unconnected journey.
The terms say some app-store or provider payment methods do not automatically establish residence for portability. Use the applicable official verification process rather than creating another subscription. Keep the biller and viewing identity together. This editorial guide does not establish Molotov inclusion with IPTV Canada or a permanent archive; it makes free, paid, replay and recorded routes distinct.
