How to watch sattalite channels from other countries e.g. India, Vietnam, Italy, China, Japan and so on using IPTV over the internet in Australia

Considering Australia is home to a very large number of immigrants from all over the world this topic comes at time to time. Earlier I used to write small notes around how we could access satellite channels from specific countries or providers. This time I thought of coming up with list of all the possibilities especially with IPTV. This list is just the starting. I will keep on adding more to this list. I will refrain from adding those illegal media boxes that are floating around in the market. Please also note that whatever is on this page are my personal viewes about a service, you should research on your own for what you want to consider. PAID SERVICES - Following is list of some of the main players I came across in recent months for IPTV that offer international channels.

Question about attacks on international students in and around Melbourne

I been asked few times if Melbourne is still a safe place for visitors and international students after what has been shown by the media world wide especially in India. A lot of people has worries and questions regarding attacks on internation students in Melbourne. Some also asked on what can be done to avoid any such situations. Here is what I have to say about it: It’s a wide topic to discuss. It’s not only the students, it can be ANYONE on the streets, in a pub or restaurant, parking of a shopping center, on public transport or at home late that night can become a victim. It has nothing to do with being Indians or Australians. Yes, it’s true that Indian International students are easy targets here is what I think about it: 1. International Students works in odd hours, do not have their own transport to go back home late night. Streets on weekends can be full with drunk and people on drugs that can attack anyone for any reason. Locals mostly know what areas to voi
