What it does

SBS On Demand presents films, television shows, sport and live viewing, with an NITV route and audio-description information.

Choose NITV for Indigenous Australian programming, or browse films, television and live channels. Viewing is free but needs an SBS account with a valid email. On a supported television, install the app and connect through its QR code or sign in with the keypad. Check the model list before planning around an older TV.

Live viewing offers Play From Start on the main channels and selected events. Some broadcasts remain blocked by streaming rights. SBS is available only within Australia and offers no offline downloads, including for travel.

Watch out for

Viewing is restricted to Australia.
Offline programme downloads are unavailable.
