Indian TV Box in Forest Lake

Forest Lake's Sri Lankan and Indian families

Forest Lake is a master-planned suburb in Brisbane's south-west, built around its namesake lake and parklands. More people speak Sinhala at home in Forest Lake than in any other Queensland suburb, and its Sri Lankan community lives alongside many Indian families: at the 2021 Census, 1,054 residents reported Indian ancestry and 817 of its 22,676 residents (3.6%) were born in India, ranking Forest Lake No. 150 of all Australian suburbs by India-born residents.

Counting everyone who speaks Hindi, Punjabi, Sinhala, Gujarati, Tamil, Urdu, Malayalam, Nepali or Bengali at home, Forest Lake is one of the top three suburbs in Queensland (2021 Census).

Sinhala, Hindi and Punjabi on the same box

The most common South Asian languages used at home were Sinhala (347), Hindi (314) and Punjabi (308), with Gujarati and Tamil also spoken (2021 Census). No single language leads by much, so Forest Lake free trials often cover Sinhala teledramas, Hindi serials and Punjabi music in one sitting. Sri Lankan Tamil families can switch to Tamil TV from the same menu.

Internet in Forest Lake

We recommend a minimum of 30–50 Mbps. About 95% of occupied homes in Forest Lake are separate houses (2021 Census). In a larger house the modem is often a long way from the TV, so a network cable or a mesh Wi-Fi system helps. Connection types vary street by street, so check your address with your provider.

Getting your box in Forest Lake

We post the box to your door in Forest Lake. Prefer to buy in person? Ask us on WhatsApp. It's plug and play: plug it into your TV and internet, pick a language and watch, with 7-day catch-up for shows you missed. We also post to nearby Inala, Doolandella, Durack and Richlands.
