How to Watch Indian Channels in the UK — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam (Best IPTV + Free Options)
In London, Birmingham, Manchester or anywhere in the UK and missing Star Plus, Sony, Colors, Sun TV, Asianet, Gemini—or live cricket? This guide shows reliable ways to watch Indian TV in the UK, without geo‑block headaches and buffering.
Streaming Duniya provides IPTV player credentials (M3U/Xtream). Use only with content you’re entitled to watch in your region.
Why Indian TV doesn’t work smoothly in the UK
OTT apps like Hotstar, ZEE5 and SonyLIV are often geo‑restricted. Even with a VPN you may face:
- Regional bans for live channels and marquee sports
- Buffering because traffic routes via far servers or throttling
- Different UK libraries vs India—your favorite shows or channels may be missing

Free options in the UK (what to expect)
Free websites/APKs exist, but:
- They’re ad‑heavy and risky (malware, trackers)
- They disappear frequently or break mid‑match
- No guaranteed HD/4K or proper EPG
OTT vs Free sites vs IPTV — What’s best in the UK?
| Option | Pros | Cons | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indian OTT (Hotstar, ZEE5, SonyLIV) | Official apps; great on‑demand libraries | Geo‑blocks; UK catalog differences; VPN issues for live | Catch‑up & movies |
| Free websites/APKs | Free, quick access | Unstable; ads; low quality; risky | Occasional viewing |
| IPTV (Streaming Duniya) | Live channels, HD/4K, EPG, multi‑device | Paid subscription | Daily TV and live cricket |
FAQs — Indian channels in the UK
Is IPTV legal in the UK?
IPTV technology is legal. Always use it only for content you’re licensed or entitled to view. Streaming Duniya provides player credentials; we do not host streams.
Do I need a VPN to watch Indian channels?
Usually not required with our IPTV setup. If your ISP throttles streaming, a reputable VPN set to the UK or nearby can help improve stability.
Will I get IPL, Asia Cup and ICC events?
Sports availability depends on regional rights. Message us on WhatsApp with the exact channel you need and we’ll confirm coverage.
Which devices are supported?
Android TV/Google TV, Firestick, Android phones/tablets, Smart TVs via Firestick/Android box, and PC (VLC). See our Televizo install guide.
Can I use Hotstar, ZEE5, SonyLIV with IPTV?
Those are separate OTT subscriptions. Some plans include access paths or app support; ask us for the right package if you need OTT + IPTV together.
Is there a free trial?
Trials are sometimes available. Ping us on WhatsApp for current options.
