Your options for Indian TV in Australia

Most South Asian families end up choosing between four approaches:

  • Free-to-air on SBS. SBS carries some free-to-air programs in community languages, mostly news, and SBS also has language programs on radio and online. It’s free, but it isn’t a full line-up of Indian TV.
  • Several streaming apps on a smart TV. Each app usually needs its own subscription and password, and the content is spread across different menus. It can work, but costs and logins add up.
  • Satellite dishes. These need installation and line of sight, and they don't suit apartments or rentals.
  • A dedicated set-top box such as Infinity TV, which plugs into your TV and internet and puts live TV, movies, dramas and kids' content in many languages behind one menu, for one price.

What to look for in an Indian TV box

  • Your languages. Check every language your household speaks, not just the main one. Infinity TV covers 16.
  • Ease of use for elders. Visiting parents should be able to watch without help, and no passwords is a big plus.
  • Total cost over 2–3 years. Add up the box, the service and renewals. Infinity TV is $380 AUD for the box and 24 months, then $180 per year.
  • Support you can actually reach. Infinity TV has real people on WhatsApp (text only, 0488 487 980, 9am–11:30pm).
  • A free demo so you can see it before you pay.

Getting your internet ready

We recommend a minimum of 30–50 Mbps. If your Wi-Fi is weak near the TV, a mesh system or a cable to the router can help. Evening speeds matter most, because that's when families watch.

Indian TV in Australia: FAQ

How do I get Indian TV channels in Australia?

The main ways are free-to-air language programs on SBS, separate streaming apps on a smart TV, or a dedicated set-top box such as Infinity TV that brings 16 languages together on one menu.

Are there any Indian channels on Freeview?

Freeview doesn’t have a full Indian channel line-up. SBS carries some free-to-air programs in community languages, mostly news, but for live channels, serials and movies in your language you’ll need an app or a TV box.

How can I watch Indian channels in Australia for free?

SBS is the free option: it carries some free-to-air language programs, mostly news, plus language programs on radio and online. Full live TV, serials and movies usually need a paid service.

How do I watch Indian channels on a smart TV?

You can install separate apps, each with its own login, or plug a box like Infinity TV into the TV’s HDMI port and get everything in one menu with no passwords.

What's the easiest way to watch Indian TV in Australia?

A dedicated set-top box that plugs into your TV and internet is usually simplest for families: one menu, no app-hopping and no passwords. Infinity TV is built for exactly that.

What internet speed do I need for Indian IPTV?

We recommend a minimum of 30–50 Mbps. On NBN, choose a plan that reliably delivers that in the evening, when networks are busiest.

Is a smart TV enough?

Smart TV apps can work, but they usually mean several separate subscriptions and logins. A single box keeps everything in one place for one price.

How much does Indian TV cost in Australia?

It varies by provider. Infinity TV is $380 AUD including the set-top box and 24 months of service, then $180 for each 12-month renewal.

Can I watch regional languages like Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam?

Yes. Infinity TV covers 16 languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Bangla, Oriya and Assamese.
