Stability before headline numbers
We could inflate the channel count by carrying every dead feed we can find. We do not. A channel enters the lineup when it holds a stable bitrate through a monitored week, and it leaves quietly when it stops.
Australian IPTV, engineered for the moment it actually matters
TVHammer exists because a stream that works on a quiet Tuesday and dies in the last ten minutes of a grand final is not a television service. We build infrastructure for Australian homes — local edge capacity, modern compression and a support desk that keeps Australian hours.

Our story
Started in 2021 by network engineers, not marketers
TVHammer began as a small group of network engineers who were tired of watching overseas IPTV platforms treat Australia as a rounding error. Streams were routed halfway around the world, channel guides were stamped in the wrong time zone, and support replied three days later from a continent where the football had already finished.
The first version of the platform was built to solve exactly one problem: get the content onto Australian soil before it reaches the customer's router. Everything since — the H.265 pipeline, the regional guide mapping, the per-connection buffer profiles — has been layered on top of that single decision.
Five years on we serve more than eighteen thousand households from Cairns to Hobart. We have deliberately stayed small enough that an engineer can still read a support ticket and change something in the delivery path the same afternoon.
What we stand on
Three commitments that shape every decision
These are not slogans on a wall. Each one has cost us something — a cheaper server contract, a faster launch, a bigger channel count on the advertising.
Local infrastructure, local hours
Sydney and Melbourne edge nodes, a guide mapped to AEST and AEDT, and a support desk answering while Australia is awake. Proximity is not a marketing feature — it is the difference between a clean picture and a stutter.
Plain pricing, plainly stated
One lineup, five terms, no premium tier hiding the sport. Nothing auto-renews, nothing is upsold mid-season, and the figure on the pricing page is the figure on your statement.
How we work
Monitoring that runs while you sleep
Every channel in the lineup is probed continuously. When a feed degrades, the monitoring system flags it and traffic moves to a backup source before most subscribers notice a change — which is why our stability figure is measured rather than asserted.
Overnight is when the platform does its housekeeping: the channel list refreshes, the electronic programme guide rebuilds against the Australian clock, and the on-demand library takes on the week's additions. You wake up to a current service without touching a setting.
- Continuous per-channel health probing across the full lineup
- Automatic failover to backup sources on degradation
- Nightly guide rebuild aligned to AEST and AEDT
- Weekly on-demand library refresh
- Capacity reviewed ahead of every major finals series
Meet the team
The people behind the picture
A small group of specialists, each responsible for a distinct part of getting a clean stream onto your screen.
Ryan Halloway
Head of Network Infrastructure — owns the Sydney and Melbourne edge capacity and the failover logic behind it.
Priya Nandakumar
Streaming Quality Lead — sets the encoding ladders and decides which feeds are good enough to carry.
Callum Beattie
Support Manager — runs the technician desk and wrote most of our setup guide.
Marcus Oyelaran
Platform Engineer — builds the guide pipeline and the nightly refresh that keeps the lineup current.
"Our infrastructure is built to hold its shape during a finals weekend, when every household in the country is pulling on the same window. We do not just deliver channels — we make sure the thousandth request is served as cleanly as the first."
"The cleverest compression in the world is useless if the guide says a match starts at the wrong hour. Half of what we build is unglamorous correctness — time zones, channel naming, failover order. That is what people actually feel."
