Whether you grew up watching Star Plus serials with your family or you simply don't want to miss the IPL season, accessing Indian television in the United States has gotten significantly easier – and much cheaper. You no longer need a specialized satellite dish or an Indian cable package. PrimeVistaTV carries Zee TV, Colors, Star Plus, Sony Entertainment Television, and dozens of regional Indian channels as part of a standard subscription.
Which Indian Channels Are Available?
PrimeVistaTV carries a broad selection of Indian television channels, including both national Hindi channels and regional language networks. Here's what's included:

Watching Cricket – IPL, World Cup, and India Matches
Cricket is often the primary reason Indian-Americans seek out home-country TV. Here's what's available:
IPL (Indian Premier League): The IPL broadcasts on Hotstar (JioCinema partnership) for Indian rights. In the US, the official rights holder is Willow TV, which PrimeVistaTV carries. You'll be able to watch all IPL matches live.
India international matches: India's bilateral series and ICC tournaments (World Cup, Champions Trophy, T20 World Cup) are typically available on Willow TV, which is included.
Note: Some ICC events have exclusive streaming agreements – check current rights before major tournaments.
How to Set Up on Your Device
Setting up Indian channels through PrimeVistaTV is the same as any other channel category:
- Choose your device – Fire TV Stick, Android TV, iPhone, iPad, or Samsung Smart TV all work. See the [device compatibility guide](/devices).
- Install an IPTV app – IPTV Smarters Pro is the most beginner-friendly. See [full setup instructions](/setup-guide).
- Enter your credentials – Use the Xtream Codes login with your PrimeVistaTV Server URL, username, and password.
- Browse to your channels – Indian channels are organized under "India," "Hindi," or by language group depending on your app.
For TV viewers who prefer a traditional TV guide experience, TiviMate allows you to mark Zee TV, Colors, and other favorites so they appear at the top of your channel list.
Internet Speed Requirements
Indian channels typically stream in standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD). Requirements:
- SD streaming: 3 5 Mbps
- HD streaming: 8 12 Mbps
- Multiple simultaneous streams: multiply accordingly
Most US home internet plans comfortably support HD Indian channel streaming. For more details on speed requirements, see our internet speed guide.
Getting the Best Experience
A few things that make a meaningful difference:
Use a wired connection for live cricket. Live sports streams at higher bitrates. An Ethernet connection from your router to your streaming device eliminates buffering during match broadcasts.
Set Zee TV and Colors as favorites. In TiviMate or IPTV Smarters, marking your preferred Indian channels as favorites puts them one click away instead of searching through 20,000 channels.
Check the EPG for scheduling. The electronic program guide shows what's currently airing and what's coming up. Your PrimeVistaTV subscription includes EPG data for Indian channels, so you can plan ahead for serial episodes and live events.
