Indian IPTV in Australia: Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and More

Indian TV in Australia, in one app

India is now one of the most common countries of birth for Australians born overseas, and for many families, watching Indian television is part of the daily routine: a serial after dinner, devotional programmes in the morning, news from home and, of course, cricket. Indian IPTV brings all of it to your TV in Australia over your normal internet connection — no satellite dish, no separate subscription for each network, and no juggling apps.

Indian channels are included in every Premium 4K Server plan at no extra cost, alongside Australian, New Zealand, UK, Arabic and international channels. Choose 1 to 5 devices so that everyone in the household can watch what they want at the same time.

Languages included

The Indian line-up covers national and regional television in ten languages, plus English-language Indian channels:

• Hindi: the largest selection, with entertainment, family serials, reality shows, 24-hour news, movie channels, music and kids’ channels.
• Punjabi: music, news, entertainment and devotional channels, including live kirtan and gurbani.
• Tamil and Telugu: entertainment, news and movie channels from two of India’s biggest film industries.
• Malayalam and Kannada: regional news, serials, comedy and cinema from Kerala and Karnataka.
• Gujarati, Marathi and Bengali: regional entertainment, news and devotional programming.
• Urdu: drama, poetry and entertainment channels.
• English-language Indian channels: business news, current affairs and lifestyle.

What you can watch

Serials and reality TV

Follow daily soaps and weekly dramas as they air in India, or watch them later with catch-up. Talent shows, reality competitions and comedy are all part of the mix.

News from India

National and state news in Hindi, English and regional languages keeps you connected to home, with live coverage when big stories break.

Movies on demand

Along with dedicated movie channels, the on-demand library of 140,000+ titles includes Indian films and series in several languages, from new Hindi releases to Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Punjabi cinema.

Devotional programming

Aarti, bhajans, kirtan and spiritual discourses broadcast live every day, with special coverage during Diwali, Holi, Navratri, Vaisakhi, Eid, Onam and Pongal.

Music and kids

Music channels play film songs and classics across languages, and children’s channels help young Australians pick up their family’s language.

Cricket and Indian sport

Every plan includes premium sport channels that cover cricket — international series, domestic tournaments and the T20 competitions that draw huge audiences. Kabaddi, hockey and other sports popular in India are covered too. And because Australia hosts India regularly, you’ll also find plenty of cricket on Australian sport channels in the same app.

Indian shows on Australian time

India Standard Time (IST) doesn’t use daylight saving, but most of south-eastern Australia does, so the gap changes during the year. Here’s how common Indian broadcast times translate:

Morning devotional programmes and daytime shows land comfortably in the Australian day, and Perth viewers can often watch prime time live. On the east coast, prime-time serials air after midnight, which is where catch-up earns its keep: open the TV guide the next evening, find the episode and press play.

Festivals and special events

Festival seasons are when Indian television comes alive, and when families in Australia most want to feel connected to home. Devotional and entertainment channels broadcast special programming for Diwali, Holi, Navratri and Durga Puja, Ganesh Chaturthi, Vaisakhi and Gurpurab, Eid, Onam and Pongal, along with live coverage of major temple events and celebrations. Music channels play festival songs, and film channels schedule blockbuster premieres. Many of these broadcasts take place in the Indian evening, so catch-up lets you watch them with the whole family once everyone’s home.

Why one IPTV plan rather than separate Indian apps?

Several Indian broadcasters offer international apps, and they can be a good choice if your household follows a single network. But many families watch across languages and networks — a Hindi serial, Punjabi music, Tamil films and Indian news — and separate subscriptions quickly add up. Some apps focus on on-demand episodes rather than live channels, and few include live sport. With IPTV, all of it sits in one guide with one login and one renewal date, alongside your Australian and international channels, and you can choose how many devices can watch at once.

Setting up an Indian IPTV box

You can watch on any supported device: a Smart TV app, an Android TV box, a streaming stick, a MAG box, a phone, a tablet or a computer. For the main family TV, many households choose an Android TV box or a MAG box, because both are quick, reliable and easy to use with a remote. See our guide to the best devices for IPTV in Australia if you’re shopping for one.

A few tips make Indian TV easier for everyone at home:

• Create a favourites list for each person’s language and channels.
• Use the language categories to jump straight to Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil or other channels.
• Set your device to your state’s time zone so the guide shows Australian times.
• Turn on parental controls if children share the TV.

One plan for the whole family

There’s no Indian add-on and no per-language fee. One plan covers Indian channels, Australian and international TV, premium sport and PPV events, and the full on-demand library. The 12-month plan is the best value at US$7.42 a month for one device, and adding devices costs far less than separate subscriptions — 12 months for 2 devices is US$151.
