Serials for the grandparents, cricket for everyone and cartoons for the children, on one login with the TV guide set to your own clock.
Indian IPTV is live Indian television streamed over the internet to your TV, box or phone, wherever you live. TVPikoma includes Hindi channels such as Star Plus, Colors, Zee TV and Sony TV, and Tamil IPTV favourites such as Sun TV, KTV, Vijay TV and Zee Tamil. Gemini for Telugu, Asianet for Malayalam and NTV Bangla for Bengali sit in the same South Asia group, next to Geo TV, ARY, Hum TV and PTV from Pakistan.
That group is one part of 25,000+ live channels from 60+ countries. This page explains the channels by language, cricket, serials and devotional viewing, and the time gap between India and the US, UK and Canada. One-screen plans start at $15 a month, and you can test everything on the 24-hour free trial.
The South Asia group follows the way families actually watch: language first. This table shows the channels in the current list and what people usually tune in for.
| Language | Channels in the list | Popular for |
|---|---|---|
| Hindi entertainment | Star Plus, Colors, Zee TV, Sony TV | Daily serials, reality shows, award nights |
| Hindi films | Star Gold, Sony Max, Zee Cinema | Bollywood films, old and new |
| Tamil | Sun TV, KTV, Vijay TV, Zee Tamil | Serials, Tamil cinema, reality contests |
| Telugu | Gemini | Serials and Telugu films |
| Malayalam | Asianet | Family serials and entertainment |
| Bengali | NTV Bangla | News and drama from Bangladesh |
| Urdu | Geo TV, ARY, Hum TV, PTV | Pakistani dramas and news |
| Sport | Star Sports 1–3, Sony Sports | Cricket and other live sport |
Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati and Kannada viewers should search the TVPikoma channel list before ordering. Regional channels beyond the ones named here come and go, and broadcasters change what they allow abroad. If one channel is the reason you are subscribing, ask on WhatsApp first.
Tamil speakers live in large numbers in Toronto, London, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney and the Gulf. Many search for Tamil IPTV because satellite packages abroad rarely carry more than one or two Tamil channels. TVPikoma puts the main Tamil networks in one place.
Pongal, Tamil New Year and Deepavali bring special programmes and film premieres on Tamil channels. These are the days when grandparents, parents and children sit down together, whether home is Scarborough or East Ham. Order a few days early so setup is finished before the holiday.
Sri Lankan Tamil families should check the list for Sri Lankan channels, since coverage there varies. Viewers in Malaysia or Singapore get the same Indian Tamil channels, with the guide shown in local time once the player is set up.

Every plan includes all 25,000+ channels from 60+ countries, the 120,000+-title on-demand library and 4K wherever broadcasters provide it. No contract, no automatic renewal, and a 7-day money-back guarantee. Prices are shown in USD.
Cricket is often the biggest single reason a South Asian household subscribes. The TVPikoma list includes Star Sports 1–3 and Sony Sports from India, Sky Sports Cricket from the UK and SuperSport from South Africa. Fox Sports 501–507 and Kayo channels from Australia, and Sky Sport NZ, complete the picture.
Rights move between broadcasters by tournament and by country. A Test series may sit on one network this year and another the next. The sports channel guide shows where competitions are now. Official fixtures are on the IPL website and the ICC website.
The IPL usually runs from late March to late May or early June. India does not use summer time, so the gap shifts when your own clocks change. From April to the final, the two standard start times convert like this.
| Match | India | London | Toronto and New York | Vancouver | Dubai |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Afternoon match | 3:30 p.m. | 11 a.m. | 6 a.m. | 3 a.m. | 2 p.m. |
| Evening match | 7:30 p.m. | 3 p.m. | 10 a.m. | 7 a.m. | 6 p.m. |
Early starts in North America make catch-up on supported channels useful. Where a match is produced in 4K, you will find it next to the HD feed, and the 4K IPTV guide covers the speed and screen you need.
Hindi serials air most weekdays, and many families follow two or three at once. Missing an episode hurts when the story moves every night. On channels that support catch-up, you can replay earlier programmes from the TV guide, and the 120,000+ title library adds films and series on demand.
Geo TV, ARY and Hum TV share the same group. Their dramas have a large following among Urdu and Hindi speakers alike, and PTV adds national news from Pakistan. No extra pack is needed.
Many families like morning prayers, bhajans, gurbani or religious talks playing in the background. Dedicated devotional channels are not a fixed part of the list, so search the channel list for the one your family watches before you order.
Festivals are simpler. Diwali, Navratri, Onam, Durga Puja, Eid and Vaisakhi bring special episodes and live events on many entertainment channels. If you are ordering for a festival, start a few days ahead so the whole family is set up in time.
India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 all year. Because India never changes its clocks, the gap to your city moves by an hour whenever your country does.
So an 8 p.m. serial in Mumbai starts at 2:30 p.m. in London in winter, and at 9:30 a.m. in Toronto. Set the time zone on your device, then check the player EPG offset against a live news bulletin. After that, the guide shows every programme at your own local time.
In North America, Indian prime time falls in the morning. Many families watch the evening serials from catch-up after work, where the channel offers it. In the UK the gap is smaller, so Sunday afternoon often lines up with Sunday evening in India. That makes weekend film premieres and reality finals easier to watch live.
Desi IPTV works on the devices most homes already own. The easiest choice depends on who holds the remote.
For parents and grandparents, a simple player with a favourites row works best. Put Star Plus, Sun TV or Asianet first, and hide the groups nobody uses. TiViMate handles this well on Android devices, and our IPTV app comparison covers other players.
Every TVPikoma plan carries the full South Asia group, all sport and the channels of the country you live in. The only choices are plan length and how many screens play at once.
One account is for one household, so relatives in another home need their own plan. Plans never renew automatically, and every order has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Compare the details on the pricing page.
Before a big cricket series, test first. Start the free trial on a match day, open Star Sports or the network showing the series, and watch for a while on the TV you will use. Then switch to a Tamil or Hindi channel to check the guide times. If everything works, move to a longer plan.
IPTV as a technology is legal. Unlicensed redistribution is not, which is why the source of a service matters, as our guide to IPTV legality explains. If your home speaks more than Hindi or Tamil, the worldwide IPTV page shows every country group, and Gulf-based families can compare the Arabic IPTV line-up.
Start the 24-hour free trial, open the South Asia group and check Sun TV, Star Plus or Star Sports on your own TV. No card is needed.
The current list includes Sun TV, KTV, Vijay TV and Zee Tamil. Together they cover prime-time serials, Tamil films and reality shows. Other Tamil channels, including Sri Lankan ones, appear and disappear as rights change, so check the channel list or ask on WhatsApp if one particular channel matters to you.
Usually yes, because Star Sports and other cricket networks are in the list, but rights change by tournament and by country. From April, the evening IPL match starts at 3 p.m. in London and 10 a.m. in Toronto. Use the free trial to confirm where the current season is showing.
Some regional channels are, but coverage varies. Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali and Urdu channels are named in the current list. Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati and Kannada viewers should search the channel list before ordering, or ask support on WhatsApp, because regional channels change more often than the national networks.
Yes, once your device time zone and the player EPG offset are right. India uses UTC+5:30 with no summer time, so the gap changes when your own clocks change. Compare a live news bulletin with the guide, adjust the offset if needed, and check again after each clock change.
No, one TVPikoma account is meant for one household. Relatives living elsewhere should get their own plan, which starts at $15 a month or $69 a year for one screen. Inside your own home, a 2, 3 or 5 screen plan lets several people watch at the same time.
Yes. Geo TV, ARY, Hum TV and PTV sit in the same South Asia group as the Indian channels, and every plan includes them. There is no separate Urdu pack and no extra fee. Families who follow both Indian serials and Pakistani dramas simply add both to one favourites list.
