CatchON TV Official Website: How to Spot Copycat Sites
By CatchON TV Support TeamPublished
On this page
Several unrelated websites use the CatchON TV name, including domains such as catchontv.com, my catchon style addresses and chat-only sellers. Before you buy or start a chat, check the exact domain, who runs it, how you pay and how to get a refund. This site is catchontv8k.com. We can only answer for subscriptions bought here.
Is this the official CatchON TV website?
| Detail | |
|---|---|
| Domain | catchontv8k.com |
| What we sell | CatchON TV subscriptions for 1–4 devices, listed on the pricing page |
| Support email | support@catchontv8k.com |
| +1 (860) 699-7174 | |
| Refunds | Written refund policy |
| What we don’t control | Other websites, apps or chat accounts using the CatchON TV name |
We don’t describe this site as “the only official” CatchON TV website, and you should be wary of any seller that makes that claim without evidence.
Why there are so many CatchON TV sites
Searches like catchon tv official website, catchontv.com or mycatchon return a mix of sellers, review pages and resellers with similar names and designs. Some are legitimate resellers; some copy text and logos to collect payments. Because the names are so similar, the domain and the payment process are what tell them apart.
How to check a domain
- Type the address yourself or use a bookmark instead of clicking ads or links in messages. The FTC advises contacting a company “using a phone number or website you know is real” (FTC).
- Read the full domain carefully: extra words, hyphens or different endings (.com, .co, .net) mean a different owner.
- Look up the domain’s registration details with ICANN’s lookup tool. A domain registered last week deserves extra caution.
- Check that the site lists prices, a refund policy and real contact details before checkout.
- Compare the support contact you were given with the one on the website itself.

Chat and purchase safety
Many IPTV sellers sell through chat (people search catchontv chat for this). Chat is convenient but easy to impersonate. Start the chat from the website’s own button or published number, not from a number someone sent you. This site’s chat number is +1 (860) 699-7174, as shown on our contact page.
| Safer | Riskier |
|---|---|
| Payment methods with buyer protection, such as cards | Gift cards, or transfers to an individual you can’t identify |
| Prices and terms published on the site | Prices that exist only in a chat |
| Login details delivered to the email you used | Requests for your passwords or card PIN |
Red flags
If you paid the wrong site
Contact your card issuer or payment provider quickly to dispute the charge. The FTC’s guidance covers disputing unauthorised charges and reporting problems (FTC). Keep screenshots of the site, the chat and the payment. If you bought from catchontv8k.com and something is wrong, use our contact page.
