Ask ten desi households in Sydney, Melbourne or Auckland what they want from TV and you will hear ten different answers. Grandparents want the evening serials they followed back home. Parents want the news, a weekend movie and the big cricket matches. Kids want cartoons and anime, ideally in the family's own language so they keep hearing it every day. "Desi TV" covers all of that: live television, dramas, films, series and sport from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh.
Living in Australia or New Zealand, the challenge is not finding content. It is getting it onto the big TV in the lounge room in a way that the whole family can actually use, without five apps, three logins and a teenager on call to fix it.
The common ways people watch desi TV in Australia
Most families we talk to have tried at least one of these:
- Phone or laptop apps. Fine for one person, but awkward for the family. Casting to the TV often drops, and older relatives find it hard to navigate.
- Several streaming subscriptions. Each one covers a slice: one for Hindi films, another for Tamil series, another for sport. Costs add up and nobody remembers which app has what.
- Smart TV apps. Handy when they work, but app support varies by TV brand and model, and older TVs miss out on updates.
- A dedicated set-top box. One box plugged into the TV by HDMI, one remote, one menu. This is the approach Infinity TV takes.
None of these is wrong. The right choice depends on who in your home is watching and how much fiddling they will put up with. If you are comparing options, our comparison guide and how to choose an Indian TV box go into more detail.
What to look for in a desi TV setup
Whichever way you go, these are the things that matter most day to day:
- Your languages, not just Hindi. Many households switch between two or three languages. Check that each one has live channels, movies and series, not just a token few.
- Catch-up. Australian and NZ evenings do not line up with India or Pakistan prime time. Being able to go back and watch the last few days makes a huge difference.
- A remote your parents can use. Big, clear menus and a physical remote beat a phone app for most grandparents.
- Picture quality. HD is standard; 4K where available looks great on a modern TV, as long as your internet keeps up.
- Clear pricing. Know what you pay up front and at renewal, with no surprise monthly add-ons.
- Local help. When something needs sorting, you want someone who answers on WhatsApp in your time zone.
How Infinity TV does desi TV
Infinity TV is a set-top box built for South Asian families in Australia and New Zealand. You plug it into your TV and internet, switch it on and you are watching. There is no app store to manage and no account to log into on the TV.
- 16 languages: Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Malayalam, Kannada, Gujarati, Marathi, Oriya, Assamese, Urdu, Pashto, Sinhala, Nepali and Bangla.
- Live TV, movies, series, anime, kids' shows and sport in one menu, organised by language.
- 7-day catch-up so the evening serial is waiting for you after work.
- HD & 4K where available.
- Simple remote that the whole family can use.
Pricing is straightforward: AUD $380 for the box and 24 months of service, then AUD $180 for each 12-month renewal. Right now there is also a limited-time Mega Bundle Package: the box + 24 months plus 12 months of the Infinity App for AUD $430, which saves you 70% on the Infinity App. See all products in our shop.
Desi TV for every generation in the house
For grandparents: familiar live channels and serials in their language, with a remote that does not need a manual. Many families buy Infinity TV first and foremost so that visiting parents feel at home.
For parents: news, movies, web series and sport, plus catch-up for the shows you miss during the week.
For kids: cartoons, anime and kids' shows in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and more. It is a gentle way to keep children connected to their mother tongue while they grow up speaking English at school.
What internet do you need?
We recommend at least 30–50 Mbps for a smooth experience, especially if others in the house are streaming at the same time. A wired connection or a good Wi-Fi signal near the TV helps. Our internet speed guide explains how to check your NBN or fibre plan.
Desi TV across Australian and NZ cities
We supply families right across the country and across the Tasman, from Harris Park and Blacktown in Sydney to Tarneit and Point Cook in Melbourne, as well as Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Auckland. Delivery is arranged when you order, and many customers start with a free demo so they can see the menu on a real TV first.
