Where TVmate reaches, and when things are on
TVmate is an IPTV subscription, and it works the same way everywhere in the United States. What changes from one place to another is the clock, and for anyone buying one to watch live sport that is the part worth knowing.
Six metros, four time zones
A national game listed at 7pm Eastern reads differently depending on where you are watching it. The table sets out what that means, and one row is not like the others.
| Metro | Time zone | 7pm Eastern reads as | Afternoon from Europe lands |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York | Eastern Time | 7pm | mid-morning |
| Los Angeles | Pacific Time | 4pm | before breakfast |
| Chicago | Central Time | 6pm | first thing |
| Houston | Central Time | 6pm | first thing |
| Phoenix | Mountain Standard Time | 5pm in winter and 4pm in summer | around eight in the morning |
| Miami | Eastern Time | 7pm | mid-morning |
Arizona: Arizona keeps the same clock all year, so the gap to the coasts moves rather than the local time.

The service has no regional restriction inside the United States. These six are the metros people ask about most, not the places it works.
