Guide

No jargon for its own sake: just how it works, what it means for your setup, and how to get going.

Where subtitles come from

Subtitles appear only when the broadcaster or the film includes them. During playback, open the player’s on-screen options and look for a subtitles or CC track. On-demand movies carry several subtitle tracks more often than live channels do, and some players can load a separate subtitle file for a film.

If there are no tracks to pick

Live channels pass on captions only when the broadcaster sends them, and some players can’t show the older broadcast caption format at all. If a player lists no tracks on a channel that should have captions, try the same channel in another player; on-demand films are the more dependable place for subtitles.

Step by step

  • Start the video. Play the movie or channel you want subtitles on.
  • Open the options. Press the menu or options button in your player while it plays.
  • Pick a track. Choose Subtitles or CC and select a language from the tracks listed; choose Off to hide them again.
  • Try the on-demand copy. If a live channel has no tracks, check whether the same show is in the Series section with subtitles.
  • Update the app. Older player versions sometimes hide subtitle tracks, so install the current release.

From here to watching

  • Pick a plan: $24.99 for a month, or $125 for a year (about $10.42 a month).
  • Order on WhatsApp; the login arrives in about 60 seconds.
  • Install a player such as TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro or IBO Pro Player.
  • Sign in, load the guide, and if it isn't for you, ask for a refund within 7 days.

FAQ

Questions people ask us

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

Why can’t I find the option?

Menus differ between players and versions. Update the app first; if the option still isn’t there, the player may not offer it, and another player that takes the same login might.

Does catch-up replace recording?

For most viewers, yes. Catch-up replays the last 7 days on supported channels with no storage needed; recording only matters for keeping something longer.

Does it work the same on every device?

The steps are the same wherever the app runs, but the buttons differ: a long press on OK with a TV remote, a long tap on a phone, and a right-click on a computer.

Do settings carry over to my other devices?

Usually not. Favorites, locks and hidden groups are saved per device unless the player offers a backup or cloud sync.

Is this a setting on my IPTV plan?

No. It’s handled by the player app on each device. Your Ultra 8K IPTV plan provides the channels, guide and on-demand library; the app decides how they are shown.
