Everyday Australian TV, alongside the big occasions.

News & current affairs

National headlines and local reporting serve different purposes. Start by identifying the news bulletin and state edition you want, then check that the channel in your bouquet matches it.

ABC, SBS, Seven, Nine and Network 10 are familiar starting points when describing Australian viewing preferences. These names help identify what to check; they are not a claim that every network feed or regional edition is included.

• Compare the channel label and programme guide with the actual live programme.
• Check local bulletin timing in your own state.
• Keep a few reliable news favourites at the top of your player.

Reality, food & lifestyle

Competition television, cooking, renovation, interviews and light entertainment make up a large part of everyday viewing. Search by programme as well as by channel when organising favourites.

If you miss an episode, check the separate on-demand library. A live channel does not automatically include a complete catch-up catalogue, and different episodes may have different availability.

Australian drama & documentaries

Explore local storytelling alongside international drama, nature, history and factual programmes. Live channels suit discovery; the on-demand library lets you choose a title when you have time to settle in.

For documentary or drama viewing, test dialogue clarity and any available subtitles on your actual screen. Language and caption options belong to individual streams and titles.

Kids & family time

Animation, learning programmes and films to watch together deserve their own organised favourites. Create a family list in a compatible player rather than leaving younger viewers to browse the entire catalogue.

Where supported, enable parental controls and protect the settings with a PIN. Check programme suitability yourself; a category label is not a substitute for the title’s classification.

Choose your Australian line-up

Select your channel bouquet in the trial form, or choose the custom option and list your preferred Australian channels, languages and sports. Your request is saved as pending for review.

Once access is confirmed, test the requested selection and make a short favourites list. This is more useful than choosing a service solely from a headline channel total.
