Watching from abroad

Home is a long way off. Your channels are not.

Strong 8K World carries the channels people miss when they move: the news, the league, the drama serial the family watches together on a Friday. It runs on whatever screen you have with you, in whichever country you happen to be in tonight.

Works wherever you travel Guide in your local time No contract, no auto-renewal
One line-up, every region

Wherever you call home, it is already in the list

There is no regional package to choose between and no cheaper tier that quietly leaves your country out. You get everything, then tell us which part of it should sit at the top of the screen.

Europe and the UK

English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Romanian

British and Irish terrestrial channels, the German and French public networks, Italian and Spanish general entertainment, and the sport that goes with all of them.

The Gulf and North Africa

Arabic, French, English

News, drama, religious and family channels from the Gulf, Egypt, the Levant and the Maghreb, including the film and series channels families ask for by name.

North America

English, Spanish, French

The American networks, cable news, the major sports packages, and the Canadian and Latin American channels that expat households in the region keep asking for.

South Asia and beyond

Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Turkish

South Asian entertainment, news and cricket, alongside Turkish drama and a broad set of channels for households across the Gulf and Western Europe.

The region you pick at checkout changes the order of your list, never its contents. Ask us to reorder it later and there is no charge.

How it works

Four answers, and then it is running

Nothing waits on an office being open. The whole sequence is automatic, which is the only sensible way to sell something to people scattered across every time zone there is.

Say where home is

Pick the length of subscription you want, then tell us which country the bulk of your viewing comes from. That decides the order of your channel list, not what you receive.

Pick how you connect

Xtream or M3U suits phones, laptops, sticks and smart televisions. MAG portal suits set-top boxes, where you give us the MAC address instead of a login.

Pay from wherever you are

The gateway takes cards issued in most countries and hands the confirmation back to your bank. Prices are quoted in US dollars and converted at the card rate.

Open the app and it is there

Your details land on screen and in your inbox together. Type them into a player on any device, in any country, and your channels are waiting.

Set mine up

Why this one

Designed around distance, not around a living room

Most services assume you are at the address you signed up from. Everything here assumes you are not, and that at least one person you watch with is in another country.

The channels you grew up with

One line-up covering the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, North America, the Gulf, North Africa, Turkey, South Asia and Latin America. You are not buying a regional package, you are buying the lot, and then deciding what sits at the top.

Built for people six hours out

The guide follows the clock on your device, so a match at nine in the evening back home shows up at whatever time that is where you are sitting. Catch-up covers the days you slept through it.

Follows you between addresses

A television in the flat, a laptop in a hotel, a tablet on a long flight home. Your details are not tied to a router or a country, so nothing needs re-registering when you land somewhere new.

Working before you unpack

Lines are issued automatically the moment your payment clears, at any hour, in any country. Nobody has to be awake in an office for your subscription to start.

Answers in your evening

Support is staffed across time zones rather than one nine to five. Tell us where you are and roughly when you can be at the television, and we will meet you there.

Cards from anywhere

Checkout runs through a 3-D Secure gateway that accepts cards issued almost everywhere, with your own bank confirming the payment. Nothing sensitive is stored on our side.

Where people actually watch

Four rooms we hear about every week

These are the situations customers describe when they write in, and they are the ones the service is built to survive. None of them involve a perfect connection.

Read the journal

The flat you moved into

A television you did not choose, a router you cannot reach and a landlord who will not discuss either. A player app and your details is the whole job.

A hotel on the third night

Get past the sign-in page, take the 5 GHz network, and plug the laptop into the room television with a short cable you packed on purpose.

Your parents, still at home

Their own set of details on a box with no login screen, on the same renewal date as yours, so nobody has to remember anything separately.

A long layover

The channel list already cached on the tablet from your own connection, so it opens on airport Wi-Fi instead of spinning at you.

Devices

Whatever is in the bag, or already in the flat

If it runs a player that accepts Xtream Codes, an M3U link or a MAG portal, it runs this. Pick yours for the exact steps.

Plans

Pay once, for as long as you want it

No contract, no card kept on file and no renewal that fires while you are between countries. When it ends, it simply ends, and you decide whether to carry on.

Before you order

The questions people ask from a new address

Will Strong 8K World work in the country I have moved to?

In almost every case, yes. The subscription is delivered over ordinary internet traffic rather than a satellite footprint or a national broadcaster licence, so it is not tied to the country you signed up from. Customers watch from across Europe, the Gulf, North America, Australia, South East Asia and West Africa on the same lines they set up somewhere else. The only real requirement is a connection that can hold a steady stream, which most home broadband and a great many hotel connections can.

Can I take my subscription with me when I travel?

Yes, and there is nothing to switch on before you go. Your login is not registered to an address, a router or a country, so the same details that work on the television at home work on a laptop in a rented flat two thousand miles away. Install a player on whatever you are travelling with, sign in once before you leave so you know it works, and it will pick up again wherever you land.

Which languages and regions are actually included?

Every plan carries the full line-up, which spans English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Turkish, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Dutch, Polish, Romanian and the Nordic languages, among others. That covers general entertainment, news, sport, film, documentary and channels for children from each region. There is no premium tier keeping anything back, because there is only ever one tier.

What is the region I pick at checkout actually doing?

It changes the running order of your channel list and nothing else. Choosing Europe puts the UK, Irish, German, French, Italian and Spanish groups at the top. Choosing Arabic puts the Gulf and North African groups there instead. You still receive everything either way. The point is that you open the app and your own channels are the first thing on screen rather than several thousand entries down. Ask us to reorder it later and we will, at no cost.

Do I need a VPN?

Most people do not, and we would rather you tried without one first because a VPN adds a hop and can cost you a little speed. Where it genuinely helps is on connections that interfere with sustained video, which is common on some hotel networks, some university halls, and with a handful of internet providers who shape streaming traffic in the evening. If your picture is fine at breakfast and unwatchable at nine at night, that is the pattern a VPN usually cures.

How does the programme guide handle time zones?

The guide is delivered with proper timestamps and your player converts them to the clock on your device. A programme that airs at eight in the evening in London will appear at ten in the evening if your tablet is set to Gulf time. If the times look wrong by exactly a whole number of hours, the device clock is almost always set to the wrong zone or stuck on manual, and correcting that in the device settings fixes the whole guide at once.
