What is Time 4 TV?
Time 4 TV is one of the most popular IPTV websites in the world. It features content from the US and UK, as well as other European countries. The main content you'll find on the network ranges between news and sports, with some channels catering specifically to other regions. Additionally, you'll find entertainment and information channels. We'll discuss them in detail below.
How to access Time 4 TV?
If you are from the United States or the United Kingdom, you will be able to access the website without any restrictions.
Why should you stream on Time 4 TV?
There are many premium channels available on this website for free. With more than 200 channels to choose from, there is something for everyone to watch. Whether you're in the mood for news or sports, you can find what you're looking for on Time 4 TV's comprehensive content library.
Exceptional Sports Coverage
As a sports lover who is having a hard time paying for cable TV, you probably must have been sleeping on this site. And for a long period of time, I was too. But when I saw the number of sports channels offered on Time 4 TV, I realized I had to write this review on this website. On Time 4 TV, you can watch live streams of a variety of sports such as Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Cricket, Tennis, Motorsport, Snooker, Cycling, Rugby Union, Golf, Boxing and Volleyball. All those sports are covered on channels such as Sky Sports, BT Sports, ESPN2 , Ten Sports 2 , Canal+, iTV4 , Box Nation4 , NFL Network5 , Neo Sports6 or WWE network7 . So if you're looking for a way to keep up with your favorite sports without paying for cable TV or satellite subscription fees then you should definitely check out Time 4 TV.
Content Segregation
I love websites which keep their content organized. They play to their strengths and make browsing an easy experience by using straightforward organization. For instance, if you want to watch sports but don't have any categories, you'll have to scroll through a lot of channels to find the one that has the sport you're looking for. But if the website uses organized categories and subcategories, finding the right content is easy because all of the relevant information is listed right where you need it.
Schedule Page
Though I'm not a huge fan of the way the content has been placed on this page, I just love the developer's efforts. There's an entire list of events that are going to take place on a particular day across different sports - Soccer, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Cricket, Tennis, Motorsport, Snooker, Cycling, Rugby Union, and Volleyball.
Decent Streaming
TV time 4 does have a large library of content, but it's becoming popular because of its streaming capabilities. The experience is decent, with occasional glitches like timing issues and redirections, but this is common in free content aggregators. The problem exists until you start streaming, after which you won't have any issues.
Design
Do you think that Time 4 TV's design is better than most of the free IPTV websites out there? I think it's subtle and not over the top, with cool grey tones and black accents. The only problem is that the channel thumbnails aren't of proper size- they've been cluttered in a small box and thus most logos are stretched. But that's not a big issue, as in a weird way it kind of attracts your attention.
Header
Each channel has a list of recent and popular shows which can be found by clicking the show name. Finally below the show list is a box which allows you to add new shows to your watchlist.
The header has a darker grey color than the background. The header section has seven options - Home, Schedule, All Channels, Sports Channels, UK Channels, USA Channels, and News Channels. Most of these categories have subcategories with over dozens of channels (we'll look at those in the content section). Each channel has a list of recent and popular shows which can be found by clicking the show name. Finally below the show list is a box which allows you to add new shows to your watchlist.
Hero Section
The Time 4 TV Hero Section is exactly what you would expect on an IPTV website. There is a video player that dominates the majority of the section along with a chatbox on the right. The live stream has a sharing button that can be used to share the stream with your friends. Under the chatbox on the right, you can find a Facebook page which at the time of writing this review has 145 likes.
Body
This may be one of the only sections that I do not really like on this website. It is filled with thumbnails of channels that are not optimized. Though they attract your attention at first, you will have a hard time viewing them for long. For instance, Sky Sport's logos look decent but BT Sports' logos just look forced into the block. All of this makes the body section appear quite cluttered.
Footer
The footer on Time 4 TV has black text with a combination of white and orange ink. There are three main options in the footer - Troubleshooting & FAQs, Live TV Channels and Contact Us.
Inner Pages
The website's inner pages are almost identical to the homepage. There is a streaming player, live chat option, social media plug, followed by unoptimized thumbnails. The color combination is also very similar to what you saw on the homepage.
Content
According to my opinion, Time 4 TV's strength is its vast content library. This website hooks users with a wide range of options for watching television shows and movies. If you enjoy watching sports, news, or entertainment channels, Time 4 TV will satisfy your needs.
Unlike most websites, where content is primarily sorted based upon the countries, Time 4 TV emphasizes content diversification based on the channels. This way, you'll find sports channels, news channels, and entertainment-related channels all in separate categories.
Sky is the most popular news channel. BBC is second most popular. CBS is third most popular. RT News is fourth most popular. MSNBC is fifth most popular. Fox is sixth most popular. Bloomberg is seventh most popular. C-Span is eighth most popular. CNN is ninth most popular. ABC is tenth most popular.
Entertainment channels are Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Discovery, Disney, HBO, History Channel, FX Network, Investigation Discovery, TruTV, National Geographic, SyFy and TBS.
Some premium channels are HBO, Starz, Canal+, Telemundo, NFL Network, Baseball Channel, and FXX.
Sports channels:
Sky Sports - Main Event, Action, Drama, Arena, Football, Golf, Mix, Premier League, Bundesliga, and News. There are other sports channels available including BT Sports - 1, 2 and 3, Canal Sports+, BeIN Sports, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN HD, ESPN Mobile, Gol TV (Brazilian), NFL Network , MLB Network , NBA TV , NEO Prime , Ten Sports , Golf Channel , and TSN 1-5.
Desktop/Mobile experience
I don't really like streaming IPTV websites on my mobile phone. The streaming experience is frustrating 99% of the time because new tabs keep opening with every other click. On a desktop, it's easier to navigate and close the tabs which makes it less frustrating. The streaming player and menus are filled with inconsistencies not necessarily through ads but forced misclicks.
Nonetheless, once the stream started, I had no issue on my Dell laptop. If you have a steady internet connection, I'm sure your streaming experience will be smooth too.
