IPTV and TV guide times in Singapore

Choose the named Mediacorp live channel before checking a Singapore programme, language track or guide entry.

The mewatch live list answers the station question

Mediacorp presents Channel 8, Suria, Vasantham and CNA as distinct services in mewatch. If a search for a programme brings you to a replay or an extra event tile, return to the live list and choose the channel that aired it. Save the programme name as shown there and keep any translated title in the same note.

CNA and a mewatch event feed can both appear in the same application. The channel name, episode or event and date give your guide supplier an identifiable row. An app title like mewatch by itself will not distinguish the source.

Make a same-programme comparison before an app reset

Open the broadcaster’s programme on a supported reference device. Play the same edition on the receiving device and open its playback controls. When the spoken language matches and only the subtitle option differs, keep those observations distinct. When the picture is a different programme, check the selected service and start time first.

For a guide example, an illustrative 20:00 Singapore slot on 15 January 2026 is 15 Jan 2026, 12:00 UTC in UTC. If the title is correct but the time is shifted, log the source and device values with their zones. If the time is correct but the title differs, collect the channel names around the relevant slot.

Check the local source in Singapore

Mediacorp lists Channel 8, Suria, Vasantham and CNA separately in mewatch. The first check for an unexpected programme is the selected channel, especially in a multi-service app.

Open the named service in mewatch and compare the programme title and local time. A Mediacorp brand match alone is insufficient to identify the channel.

Record the actual service and the preferred audio or subtitle language when asking about the programme.

Which device and account details should you check?

  1. Use the broadcaster's own market listing for Singapore when checking a current app, subscription or rights question.
  2. Look up the app publisher and exact TV or box model in the local device store. Check live versus replay features and separate app charges.
  3. For a schedule issue, save the exact channel ID, programme title, local date and time zone without sharing account or playlist details.
