Sport that matters here, at the hour it happens

An IPTV lineup assembled overseas treats Australian sport as an afterthought — a single generic feed, badly labelled, often absent by finals week. Ours is built the other way round. Every AFL and NRL fixture is mapped into the guide against AEST and AEDT before the round starts, so a 7:50pm Thursday bounce appears at 7:50pm on your screen whether you are in Hobart or Darwin.

  • Winter codes: AFL, AFLW, NRL, NRLW, Super Rugby, Super Netball
  • Summer codes: Test, ODI and Big Bash cricket, plus the tennis swing
  • Year-round: A-Leagues, Supercars, thoroughbred racing, basketball
  • Finals series and grand finals carried in 4K where broadcast in 4K

Beyond Australia

Sixty-plus regions, one subscription

Australia is a country of arrivals, and a television service that ignores that is only half useful. The international tier carries live channels from across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas — the news, the football and the light entertainment people grew up with, delivered on the same line as the local sport.

Because everything routes through our Sydney and Melbourne edge nodes, an overseas channel behaves like a domestic one: it starts quickly, it holds its bitrate, and it does not fall over when the source region hits its own peak hour.

Picture quality

How the streams are delivered

Resolution follows the source. Where a broadcaster puts out genuine 4K we carry it in 4K; where the origin is 1080i we deliver a clean FHD rather than upscaling and calling it ultra HD.
