Getting more out of CCTV-4 Checklist

The language pages break the international lineup down country by country.
Overseas channels run on their own clock; catch-up moves a prime-time show from back home into your evening.
Guide listings come from the broadcaster, so titles may appear in the original language.
Restart the player after a long session if the guide stops scrolling smoothly.

Up and running in about five minutes

Three steps. Order on WhatsApp and wait about a minute for the credentials. Put a player on your device: Fire TV and Android TV owners usually go with TiviMate, iPhone and Apple TV owners with IPTV Smarters Pro or GSE Smart IPTV. Sign in, let the channel list load, and open International.

What you'll see on screen

Expect a grid: categories down the left, channels in the middle, guide data on the right. CCTV-4 lives in the International category. Pin it to favorites and it appears on the first screen every time you open the app, ahead of the thousands of channels you'll never need to scroll past.

If CCTV-4 won't play

If CCTV-4 won't play Checklist

Plays for a minute, then freezes: run a speed test on the TV itself. Under about 25 Mbps, choose the HD version of the channel instead of 4K.
Sound but no picture: switch the player's decoder between hardware and software in its settings.
Spinning wheel, then nothing: switch to another channel and back. If others play and CCTV-4 doesn't, refresh the playlist from the player settings.

Next to CCTV-4 in the guide

Same login, same group: PTV, Rai News 24, LBC, and Rotana Cinema. Nothing in the IPTV Strong 8K lineup is sold separately, so add whichever you like to favorites.

FAQ

Questions About CCTV-4

Not covered here? Send it on WhatsApp and a person on the support desk will answer, any hour of the day.

Is CCTV-4 included in every IPTV Strong 8K plan?

Yes. All 4 plans carry CCTV-4 along with the rest of the 32,000+ channels. Nothing is priced channel by channel, so there's no add-on to buy.

What internet speed does CCTV-4 need?

Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream. Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi keeps the picture steady when the rest of the house is online.

Can I restart a show on CCTV-4 that already began?

On channels that support catch-up, yes: open the guide, go back to the program and play it from the start. Catch-up reaches up to 7 days back.

Does CCTV-4 show up in the TV guide?

The lineup's EPG covers about 99% of channels, so CCTV-4 normally shows the current program, its end time and what's next. If listings look off, check the time zone on your device.

Can I watch CCTV-4 on my phone away from home?

Yes. Install the same player on your phone and sign in with the same details. A plan plays on one screen at a time as standard, and one order can cover up to 3 screens at once.
