How to Watch Indian Channels on a Smart TVFree options, apps and plug-in boxes, explained simply

Your options for Indian channels on a smart TV

• Free channels built into the TV. Some smart TVs include free, ad-supported channels. What's available depends on the TV brand and your region, and Indian choices are usually few.
• Free-to-air language programs. SBS shows some news and programs in South Asian languages. It's free but limited.
• Streaming apps on the TV. Many Indian broadcasters have their own apps. Each one is usually a separate subscription, and not every app is available on every TV brand in Australia.
• Casting from your phone. You can cast some apps from a phone to the TV. It works, but the phone is tied up and it's fiddly for elders.
• A plug-in HDMI set-top box. A box like Infinity TV plugs into the TV's HDMI port and brings live TV, movies and dramas in 16 languages into one menu with one remote.

Watching Indian channels on a Samsung, LG, Sony or other smart TV

Infinity TV doesn't need an app on the TV, so the TV brand doesn't matter. If the TV has a free HDMI port, it works. Older TVs that aren't "smart" work too, as long as they have HDMI.

Setting up Infinity TV on your smart TV

1. Plug the HDMI cable into the box and into a free HDMI port on the TV.
2. Connect the internet: a network cable to your router, or Wi-Fi.
3. Plug in the power.
4. Press Input or Source on your TV remote and choose the HDMI port you used.
5. Start watching with the Infinity remote.

Why families use a box instead of TV apps

• One menu, one remote. No switching between apps or logging in.
• Easy for parents and grandparents. Simple remote, easy menu and no passwords.
• 7-day catch-up. Watch shows from the past week whenever suits you.
• One price. $380 AUD with the box and 24 months, then $180 a year. See the price breakdown.
