When something big happens, people turn on a news channel and leave it running. The news group on SSTV IPTV gathers rolling news from several countries, so you can follow a story from different angles, in English, French and other languages.
Types of news channel
| Type | Useful for |
|---|---|
| International news | Global stories, often in several languages |
| National news | The main bulletins and political coverage of a country |
| Business and markets | Market openings, company news and interviews |
| Weather | Forecasts and coverage of storms and heatwaves |
| Regional news | Local stories, where regional channels are available |
Following a story
On a busy news day, open the guide and filter by the news group to see which channel is covering what. In TiviMate Premium, multi-view can show two news channels side by side, which is useful during elections or major events. Each window counts as a stream, so check your screen count.
Bulletins you missed
Many news channels support catch-up, so you can go back to the evening bulletin or a press conference that happened during the day. The programme guide shows when the main bulletins air.
News in your language
If you live away from home, the international group includes national broadcasters by country, often with their own news programmes, so you can follow home news in your own language.
News questions
Are news channels included in every plan?
Yes, along with every other channel group.
Is the news live?
Yes, apart from the few seconds’ delay that all internet television has compared with satellite or terrestrial broadcasts.
Can I watch news on my phone while the TV shows something else?
Yes, as long as your plan includes enough screens for both devices at the same time.
