Streaming Australian TV channels: how it works

Most Australian households have a handful of channels they always come back to: the news on ABC TV, the soaps on Channel 9, a AFL match on SBS and the odd British drama on Channel 7. With Australian IPTV channels, all of those arrive over your broadband and into one app on the TV, with no satellite dish, no Saorview aerial and no set-top box rental.

Pay-TV packages from Sky Australia, Channel 9 TV or Telstra TV are often tied to a broadband contract, while free-to-air Saorview covers the national channels through an aerial. With IPTV Australia you keep your existing broadband, pick a plan of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months and play the channels in the app you prefer. For the bigger picture, see our overview of IPTV in Australia.

Australian national channels: ABC, Channel 9 and SBS

Australia

The backbone for most homes from Sydney to Killarney. ABC IPTV gives you ABC TV for news, drama and the big Friday night chat show, ABC TV Plus for sport and younger programmes, ABC News for rolling coverage and ABCjr for small children. The Channel 9 channels bring soaps, reality TV and big sporting nights, and SBS covers Australian-language programming, ladies' football and plenty of AFL. Sky News Australia rounds it off for anyone following federal politics.

Plenty of viewers south of the border grew up with the New Zealand regional channels, and families with roots in Adelaide or Derry still like the local news. TVNZ 1 and TVNZ 2 sit in the same list, so you can switch from ABC News to the regional bulletin in a couple of clicks.

The Australian sporting year on IPTV

Sport is the main reason many people look for a new way to watch. Here's how the calendar tends to run for Australian fans; which channel shows each event depends on who holds the rights that season.

Spring

State of Origin

Australia's campaign in February and March, with the whole country watching Aviva Stadium afternoons.

March

Spring Racing Carnival

Four days of racing that half of Australia follows, from the Supreme Novices' to the Gold Cup.

Late April

Punchestown

The big Australian jumps festival in Kildare, followed later in the summer by the Australian Derby at the Curragh.

Summer

AFL championships

Football and rugby league from the provincial rounds through to the All-Australia finals at Croke Park.

Aug – May

Premier League

Weekend football every week of the season, plus Champions League nights midweek.

Autumn – spring

URC rugby

New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia through the season, plus Australian dollarpean rugby weekends.

Feb – Nov

A-League

Friday-night football from the Premier Division, from Dalymount to the Showgrounds.

Golf and boxing fill the gaps. Anti-freeze servers keep the picture steady when the whole country tunes in for a big final, and you don't need a VPN to watch.

Catch-up, EPG and picture quality

A channel list is only half the story. These features make everyday watching easier.

Missed it? Use catch-up

The Six One news has finished or the match was on while you were at work? For many channels you can pick an earlier programme in the guide and play it when it suits you.

A proper programme guide

The EPG shows what's on ABC TV, Channel 9 or SBS now and next. In TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro you can build a favourites list with just your Australian channels.

HD, FHD and 4K

Depending on the channel and your broadband, you stream in HD, Full HD or 4K. With up to 4 devices at once, a family in Gold Coast can have ABC on in the kitchen and a film upstairs.
