By This IPTV TV website is known to offer comprehensive sports, news and entertainment coverage. It has an extensive content line-up featuring sports such as darts, snooker, NHL hockey, pro wrestling, high school basketball among many other events. Over thousands of viewers tuned in to watch Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga concert which is testimony to its entertainment event coverage as well.
Stream2Watch has a simple yet effective approach when it comes to the website layout. You might have seen many of the free IPTV websites use the same design approach. I can’t call it a bad layout as it does get the job done without hindering user experience. The streams you watch on this network give you YouTube and other Flash-based video vibes.
What is Stream2watch?
Stream2watch is an IPTV service that provides users with some of the most popular channels from prominent countries. In total, you can find 350+ channels on this website catering to a diverse range of audiences. From sports-related networks such as Sky Sports and ESPN to classic TV series such as ‘Married with Children’ and trending series such as ‘The Walking Dead’’, you can find everything on this network. This streaming site has a massive directory with all the ingredients of a top streaming platform.
Why should you stream on Stream2watch?
When you try to visit the website, the first thing you will see is the landing page. The Landing page will provide you details about the website and will help you find the content using a search function. If you’re not sure as to what you want to watch, you can start by checking the Sports Schedule or TV streaming. It’s only when you click on these options that you will get to visit the actual website.
Amazing Search Function
I like the search function on this website primarily because it works great. Unlike most of the other streaming websites where the search function is often a dicey spot leading to misclicks, Stream2Watch’s search function works amazingly well. You can browse the desired category and can check out sports schedules and upcoming events right under the search function.
Top Channels
Stream2Watch doesn’t have a variety of channels, however, it does offer quality content. There are over 350+ channels all of which are top channels that usually require you to shell out $70-$80/per month. Some of the top channels that you can find on the network include ABC, Bravo, CNN, ESPN, Cartoon Network, CBS, BET, BBC Network, Sky Sports, HBO, History Channel, and MTV to name a few. (We’ll discuss the channels at length down below).
Sports Schedule
If you’re an avid reader of my reviews, you know that I’m a sports enthusiast. I love to watch all types of sports from basketball, baseball, and wrestling to football, rugby and golf. Stream2Watch has a massive content library for sports thanks to the presence of channels such as ESPN and Sky Sports. Using the sports schedule, you can stay ahead of the curve by keeping yourself informed about the upcoming events.
Location-based content sorting
Stream2Watch allows you to sort content on the basis of categories as well as location. For instance, if you want to watch USA TV, you get the option of choosing it on the homepage. Likewise, there are 13 other options from which you can choose. These include Balkan TV, British TV, Canada TV, Dutch TV, French TV, German TV, Italian TV, Polish TV, Portugal TV, Russian TV, Spanish TV, Swedish TV, and Turkish TV.
How to access Stream2watch?
You can access this website by either typing the keyword ‘Stream2Watch’ in your search engine or click on the screenshot of the page on your left. Before you go on and check the link, I’d advise you to use a VPN as it will protect your device from malware and hackers.
Design
I honestly have mixed feelings about the aesthetic appeal of this website. It lacks that cutting-edge design but it does provide great functionality which makes up for it. The dark black/grey color combination with blue accents and white text is soothing to the eyes.
Landing Page
This generally isn’t a category that features in our reviews. However, Stream2Watch kickstarts your user journey through a landing page. To access the main website, you either have to select Sports Schedule/TV Streaming or search for any content using the search bar.
Header
Once you’ve clicked on any of the options, you’ll then land on the homepage. Upon doing so, you’ll find that the website doesn’t have any header. There’s a small section at the top that has information about the website. Under that section, you have a search bar with a green search icon. That’s all that you would find in the header section.
Hero Section
Again, the absence of the header does hurt the hero section. Thus, there’s no fine line between both these sections. You can either consider the search function or the location-based content options as the start of the hero section. Under those different names, you’ll find nine small thumbnails in a single row. All of the 359 channels can be found on the homepage itself with 63 of those visible in the hero section.
Body
The body section doesn’t have anything different than what you saw in the hero section. There are 30+ rows with channels that go all the way until footer. I like the channel placement because it eliminates the need for using the search function and finding the content by yourself.
Footer
Stream2Watch has a simple footer section. You can find different types of sports such as Baseball, Basketball, Cricket, Cycling, Darts, Golf, Handball, Motor Sports, Rugby, Tennis, Snooker, Volleyball, Wrestling and television. Under the sports, you can find options such as Cookies, Contact, Disclaimer, DMCA, FAQ, Privacy and Terms of Use.
Inner Pages
The inner page with multiple media players is kind of tricky. There’s a small video at the top which appears to play live content followed by the full-size player where the actual content is playing. The top video player is often broken and would redirect you to a new website whereas the main player keeps you on the website and loads the streaming content quickly. Under the stream player, you’ll find multiple links along with related TV channel suggestions.
Content
Stream2Watch has limited but quality content. Especially, if you’re a sports fan, you’ll find plenty of content to fulfill streaming needs. Before describing the content, I’d like to admit that Stream2Watch is not ad-free, it has a couple of ads on every page even if you use blocking software. If Stream2Watch is the first website you’ll be visiting, make sure you stay away from those ads.
Now that we’re clear, here are all the prominent channels that you’d find on the network:
News Channels: MSNBC, Fox, Bloomberg, C-Span, CNN, CNBC ABC, Russia TV and NBC Live to name a few.
Entertainment channels: Comedy Central, Animal Planet, Destination America, History Channel, TBS, CBS, MTV, OWN, T&T & USA Network
Premium channels: HBO, Starz, Telemundo, Syfy, WWE TV, NFL Network, NHL Network, Baseball Channel, FX, FXX, Canal+ and Bravo
Sports channels: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN HD, BBC Sport Sony Six, Sony ESPN, Sky Sports, BeIN Sports, ESPN Mobile, Gol TV, NFL Network and HBO Boxing
Desktop/Mobile experience
I browsed Stream2Watch using my iPhone XR and my HP laptop, and I have to say that the browsing, as well as streaming experience, was commendable. Apart from that, you can access the chatbox on every page to chat with fellow viewers. However, the chatbox appears to be closed-end and thus, doesn’t add much value to the streaming experience. Having said that, I don’t get why such a credible streaming source doesn’t have a discussion forum.
Suggestions I have for Stream2watch
Though I’m more than satisfied with what I saw on Stream2Watch, I still feel that the developers can improve the website in many ways. First, they can add a discussion page on each stream, make the chatbox open-ended and add more substance to the homepage by adding a proper header and hero section with navigable options and immersive banners.
Conclusion
If you love sports and entertainment, you’ll have a great time on Stream2Watch. Sure, there are multiple pop-up ads here and there but they don’t hinder the user experience much. I’m all for limited content and quality coverage – Stream2Watch just manages to pull that off brilliantly.
